SUCCESSIFUL POULTRY PROJECT

This is Pastor Mmanga, pastor in charge at Uswaa and Albert Shuma, the teacher at Uroki who is in charge of the chicken project.

This project was initially funded by members of Southwood Lutheran Church.

Under a good Leadership of Mr Richard Msuya; the Headmaster and other staff; the School constructed two barns which accomodate more than 100 chicken.

We thank God to see this project achieving so much today.

It will improve not only the health of the people here but also the community mindset on running small economic projects as such.

This is socioeconomic liberation to the people of Uswaa and Tanzania at large.
Students are inspired and some have started thinking of rearing chickens when they complete the first education cycle waiting to go for the next level.

BUT ; it did not come so easily.
We were told how Our sisters and brothers in South-wood Lutheran Church fund-raised these funds. We remember been told of a Pastor dancing CHICKEN DANCE. (just for me and my kinsmen). What a great Love.
We are all the beneficiaries of the generosity of our Brothers and Sisters of Southwood Lutheran Church. Asanteni sana

We arel indebted to thank them all for the Christian love they have shown us

2010 Graduation Hit !!

Exaud Makyao commented:

.

Big up Uroki.
Truly; Let there be light.
Let there be light to empower the powerless.
Let there be light to recover the lost.
Let there be light to liberate the oppressed.
Let there be light to accept the rejected.
Let there be light to inspire the discouraged.
Let there be light to accommodate the abandoned.
Let there be light to give light to those in darkness.
Let there be light to give purpose to purposeless.
Truly; Let there be light.

EXAMINATIONS

Students are trained to be independent from the begining. Cheating in exams has been a cry all over the country BUT NOT at Uroki High School.

Exams are taken to be a measure for comprehension and teaching methodology to both teachers and students.

We are proud to be able to master this.
We thank God for this achievement

Uroki AS A FAMILY

A picture of Purity Makyao, when was admitted to St Thomas Hospital . It was the most stressed time to all Uroki family as the condition seemed to become worse and worse. She was unconscious for three Days.
The whole Uroki family united in prayers and hopes. There has never been a time when Uroki family was more united than this time.

Purity ni Binti yetu wote.

In May 2009, friends from Southwood Lutheran Congregation in Nebraska USA, visited the school and Uswaa Lutheran parish.

Among other things, they conducted Teachers workshop on "Improving teaching methodology" and Computer studies.

They purchased books, stationeries and a brand new photocopier. These were school's highest need at this time.

We had a Holly communion service together.

In the picture (insert) we can see Hon. Rt Rev. Emeritus Bishop Erasto Kweka (School Patron), Pastor Sara Sphor and Church elder in one of the Sunday service at Nkirawaanga Uswaa Lutheran Parish.

UROKI HIGH SCHOOL new emblem

Women of Kilimanjaro bags:

Uroki High School and Huduma project
described by Heidi Twilley

In 2006 ten professional men from the community
of Barnt Green, a small village south of
Birmingham, visited Uroki Secondary School, near
Moshi. They installed electrics, set up computers,
do carpentry, building work and painting. It was
amazing what they achieved in 2 weeks!
In 2007 I joined a small group of women from the
Barnt Green to visit Uswaa Lutheran church and
Uroki Secondary School. I had some Kiswahili skills
left after working at Mvumi Hospital, near Dodoma
from 1981 – 1985 and the group felt that I might be
a useful addition to their party. Uswaa is a beautiful
area towards Mount Kilimanjaro off the main road
towards Machame and rich in banana and coffee
plantations. Uroki Secondary school was built by
the Lutheran community of Uswaa and has around
300 students.
The women focused on encouraging the students
in English conversation. We also took educational
books, pictures, musical instruments, games and
footballs and gave them a variety of experiences
like recorder lessons, card making, new team
games and lessons on basic first aid.
We felt extremely privileged to spend 2 weeks
getting to know many of the students. We were
impressed by their high level of motivation to study
and their ambitions to becoming teachers, doctors,
nurses, engineers, lawyers, business experts and
ministers. We also met many students who were
orphaned by AIDS/HIV or other causes. For them
Uroki was more than just a school; it was also a
home and a safe place to stay. As many as 80
students were orphaned and/or sponsored to be
educated at Uroki. The students were disciplined
and there was a happy, positive and caring
atmosphere. However, we realised that these
young people were unlikely to achieve their
ambitions due to a lack of High Schools in
Tanzania. Uroki Secondary, like most secondary
schools in Tanzania, only went up to form 4, the
equivalent of our GCSE level.
In 2007 we raised over £ 20,000 for the building of
additional classrooms. Economic problems caused
building costs to rocket (cement prices trebled in
2007) which meant the building project which
included classrooms as well as dormitories could
not be completed as initially budgeted.
We explored other options for fundraising including
a sewing project of beautiful shoulder bags. The
bags we felt, were lightweight, had a huge capacity
for shopping/carrying, and were strong enough to
carry heavy items, designed to be suitable across
the shoulders and eco friendly.
We contacted
Traidcraft, Tearfund
and fair trading
organisations as
well as the Inland
Revenue for advice
and have come up
with a win/win/win
solution with the
following aims: a)
to fund the school building project b) encourage the
local economy and c) provide a good income for
local women supported by Huduma. This voluntary
group set up by Mama Bishop Kweka and women
from the Lutheran Diocese to support women and
families affected by HIV/AIDS.
The sewing project will be a joint project governed
by Uroki High School (now re-named) and
Huduma. Although it is only in its developmental
stage, we have been able to sell 65 bags so far.
Despite the global economic downturn there is a
demand for good quality bags that last, reduce use
of plastic, are versatile and beautifully designed.
We are delighted that the project has been
accepted by the Tanzania Development Trust. It
will promote the education of Tanzanian students,
support the local economy and provide an income
for the local women in Uroki and Uswaa. Joining
forces with TDT will enable us to import the bags in
larger numbers and return all the profit to Uroki
High School. If any of the BTS members would like
to get involved, please contact Heidi Twilley Tel.
