A Beautiful story from Edward Muguluma, School Director at Kisa Primary School in Uganda.
Embraced by the warmth of the support by Richmond Rotary Club, Sanyu embarked on a journey of empowerment. Through the unwavering guidance at Kisa Foundation Uganda, she honed her skills in tailoring where she could stitch her dreams into reality with every thread she wove.
With tearful gratitude, she has on and on whispered her thanks to Richmond Rotary Club through Kisa foundation Uganda, for they had not only dressed her in skills but also adorned her life with a new found hope.

Richmond Rotarian Josh Rosales and the Peres Clinic team had a fantastic time at Peres Elementary’s annual Back to School Fair on Saturday, Aug 17th! We raffled off several back-to-school care packages and introduced ourselves to parents and students.
Having a dental clinic on school grounds provides students with easy access to routine dental care. It also allows parents to continue working without taking time off for dental appointments.
This convenient setup helps reduce dental emergencies, thus increasing school attendance and improving students’ ability to focus in class.
If your child attends Peres Elementary School in Richmond, be sure to stop by the school’s front office to schedule an appointment!
