The speed at which the new HOREMI Junior School grew out of the African soil from the ground-breaking cere\u00admony to the opening at the end of January 2024 was breath\u00adtaking. Thanks to constant photo reports from Uganda via What\u00adsApp, we were able to follow exactly how liter\u00adally every dona\u00adtion euro turned into bricks and cement. And what did we learn about the school during our visit in March? Here is our latest school report<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2024, when we were there in person<\/a>, parts of the paint\u00adwork and most of the windows and doors were still missing, but the school was already in full swing. As soon as word of the new school had spread in the neigh\u00adbor\u00adhood, the appli\u00adca\u00adtions for school places flut\u00adtered onto Naume\u2019s and Kenneth\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is how the school is running in its first year: seven teachers provide lessons for six class levels, three pre-school and three primary school levels. A total of 42 boys and 40 girls aged 4 and over are currently attending classes, most of whom \u2014 47 chil\u00addren \u2014 are in pre-school. Ten chil\u00addren from the orphanage benefit from the short distance to school. From the fourth year of primary school onwards, the older chil\u00addren still have to attend other schools and some\u00adtimes have to travel long distances \u2014 and pay school fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
