Check out the current fundraising campaign for the expansion of the FRONT ROYAL LIGHT UP ACADEMY primary school in the remote village of Bunyade in Uganda! Beth committed to a matching campaign up every dollar up to $12,500 which is extended for this phase of the construction. She and Light up Life completed a two room school\u00a0 and latrines in 2018 but it’s so popular that 200+ children travel for miles to attend!\u00a0 It needs an addition to accommodate the kids as they age–our dream is to finish construction of two new classrooms each year so that those graduating from the existing grades have\u00a0 a place to continue to thrive until they are in 8th grade (which is the grade the closest decent existing school starts).<\/p>\n
Light up life in Africa!<\/p>\n
