They are benefitting from hands on leaming, extra teacher lime and leaming through play and activities alongside the more traditional Ugandan 'Chalk and Talk, education. The families and parents are delighted and grateful that their children can go to school. A benefrt we had not considered initially is the respite time this gives the children's carers, whether a single Mum with a severely autistic child or a povety stricken Grandma caring for her orphaned grandchildren whom she cannot afford to send to school.
