Hello, my name is Sylvia Mbabazi and I would like to tell you a bit more about the UP4S foundation

Good morning everyone, I would like to share this update of class s1 and s2 with you. The new curriculum requires students to have more skills, and that's what we started with. The students learn how to make liquid soap. I hope Kids Gear and Hotel Hollandia will become our customers. We have made large quantities already. We also have other packages, such as: 1. Making candles; 2. Vaseline; 3. Jelly; 4. Bars of soap; 5. Bakery; 6. Growing mushrooms; 7. Computer skills and 8. Art and design. We hope that many of our products will be shown so that parents see the added value of the school.

It's been two years since Uganda's economy was put on lockdown due to covid. The education sector has been hit so hard that there has been no relief. This has led to many children/students dropping out of school, others have become angry and have pushed aside the teaching profession. Schools didn't reopen until January 1^st. We are pleased that more new students and teachers have joined. The lessons will now continue as usual and include cultural activities.

After almost two years of the schools being closed, the children are finally going back to school. There is a lot of enthusiasm among the children. They missed their teachers, caregivers and their friends. We are happy that most of them were able to come back to continue their education. The first term runs until April 8^th, 2022. After this, they go home for a short three-week vacation.
