We all know the story that brought Mum “kaay” to help our village. Here is our Director’s version:
Samson Kawuzi,
Administrative Director
“Since my childhood, I have always wanted to serve my community, wanted to see my people happy, and able to acquire the basic needs. This desire has always kept me unhappy due to the fact that I have always been unable to help! Setting up this project in Nawantale Village is one step in achieving my desires. I will always cherish Eva who introduced me to her good mother (whom I also call my mother) because what she is doing is what a good mother could do for her children.”
“It all started when our village was disastrously hit by a thunderstorm that left many people homeless with my father’s house inclusive! To this, Volunteers led by Mom kaay and Eva fundraised for re-construction of my father’s house, buying Mosquito nets for the affected families and restoring the community borehole, which had also been destroyed during the same storm. As if that was not enough, the same volunteers fundraised towards the buying of a wheelchair for my father when his leg was amputated!”
“As the Administrative Director of the Community School Project, I promise to work hard to consolidate the achievements so far. I always dreamt of starting a school in my community for the members to attain education at no cost because sincerely and honestly speaking, my people are poor!! But the hindrance to this has been financial. I was really filled with joy when Mom kaay proposed to help set up a school in my village! My happiness has come back now because my dream has come to reality! I will also just say: May the Almighty God bless you abundantly with life and wealth! – SAMSON KAWUZI.”
Pastor Samuel Stephen Sengooba
Chairperson - School Board
“As a man of God who has always been praying for my people and village Nawantale as a whole, I believe that this project has come as an answer to my prayers and a blessing to Nawantale. I never knew Nawantale would ever be thought of by other people and above all the American people! My people are illiterate, backward and therefore, very poor. To this, I promise to support the project to grow and I pray that The Almighty God blesses all the stakeholders abundantly. – PASTOR SENGOOBA STEPHEN.’’
Bakamwiise Yekosofatiya
Chairperson - Elders Committee
“Being the Chairperson of the elders committee, I strongly welcome the idea of setting up the school project in our village. I have lived in this village and I was born here but I had never witnessed such an opportunity. A project coming to develop my village, eradicate poverty and illiteracy! I pray that before I die, I live to see this project and Nawantale changing! - BAKAMWIISE YEKO.”
Mrs. Esther Kasadha
Vice Chairperson - School Board
“I am grateful for the second time to write on this community school project in Nawantale. In fact God is there and we thank Him very much and we pray all the time for Mum Kay Grosso and other people in America. We thank them very much for all the things we get from there because we did not expect them. We trust very much Mr. Kawuzi Samson because we receive everything you send for us… I remain - KASADHA ESTHER .”
Mrs. Sylvia Mutamba
Financial Advisor - School Board
“I am a house wife and a citizen of Nawantale Village. Many children have dropped out of school including mine due to lack of institutions to join and the few institutions available are very expensive for a peasant like me. I MUST also attend classes and mobilize other women to join me in class. Our children will have bright future when they have some training in various fields! – MUTAMBA SYLVIA.”
Ludhigo Sanon
Vice Chairperson - Elders Committee
“I am very happy to have this project in our Village. Some of us are poor because of illiteracy and backwardness and therefore, this is our opportunity to achieve prosperity because the old people like me will attain the training as well as our children which is the way to poverty eradication. – LUDHIGO SANON.”
Mrs. Salaam Manjeri
Financial Advisor - Elders Committee
“Am very happy for this project because for all the years I have seen Nawantale, everything has been the same in all aspects like socially, economically, etc.! But I can now see a ray of prosperity and development ahead for Nawantale Village. May God bless the sponsors of this project and the American People at large! – MANJERI SALAAM.”
