• Men's workshop from April 3rd to
  April 5th, a total of 9 men,
  3 Germans and 6 Ugandans.
  It was a great success with the theme: Brotherhood of Men

• Conference on April 8th with Mister Jonas Sunday, Mister Pontius Mayunga, Michael and Marliese Arns, we discussed the launch of the Ubuntu School in May '23.

• The Ubuntu School is now a government-registered and approved organization.
  
  The kitchen, toilets, and gatehouse are finished and have been approved by government inspectors.
  Comment: This school is more than prepared.
  
  The playground is being prepared, a garden is being laid out, and rabbits and chickens will live in the garden. This gives children the opportunity to learn how to interact with animals at an early age.

• April 11, 2023: Meeting with John Paul, our architect. The foundation for the tent is complete, and the tent will be delivered by mid-May. The schoolchildren will then be protected from heat, rain, and wind. A big thank you to our sponsors! There are already 10 children on the waiting list for the Baby and Middle Classes.

• Visits to the Primary School
  St. George, St. Paul's and St. Gertrude's Secondary Schools as part of our sponsorship program.

• We celebrated the Easter holidays together with the hospital community.

• We also attended the Saturday Hope meeting for needy children (currently about 600 children): singing with the children, dancing, drumming, experiencing community.

• We brought clothes and shoes from Germany to distribute.

• We delivered 1,500 surgical face masks to the hospital, bringing the total number of masks delivered to Uganda in one year to approximately 9,000.

• A celebration will take place on July 15th. Marliese Arns has been coming to Mutolere, Uganda several times a year for the past 20 years. Around 150 invitations have been sent out, and many new and old friends and companions will be there.

• Many friends and acquaintances from our community have visited us, and the sponsored children and adults always come on their own. Our relationship with the children and adults is warm, and many bring us gifts, which is very important to the local people. It is often difficult for us to accept gifts from these poor people.
