A USA Team of seven is travelling to visit Jajja's Kids in Uganda during the first week of May for approximately a week. The team includes Executive Director Diane Reiner, all our Board Members- Chair Connie Frisbee Houde, Mary Kozlowski, Scott Reinhart, Steve Kozlowski, and volunteers Sherry Reinhart and Chelsea Reinhart.
Team members are deeply committed to Jajja's Kids and are participating at their own financial expense. They are extremely excited and looking forward to the trip and making contributions to Jajja's Kids.
The Team has many tasks and goals to accomplish
as a team and individually:
-
We will all be meeting and spending time with staff and the Kids to discuss how things are going, to provide support and to plan for the future.
-
Diane will be facilitating meetings attended by all Board Members and key African Staff partners with input from the Kids to strategically plan for the future.
-
Connie, Mary (Brunch Fundraiser Chair) and Diane will be gathering materials for the fundraiser being held on September 27 at Troy's Revolution Hall, including art by the Kids and merchandise such as African artwork, baskets, jewelry and figurines for sale at the event.
The fundraiser's theme "20 Years into Our Journey: From the Street to the University and Beyond," will emphasize both the organization's growth and the individual journeys of the children. The Kids will be invited to reflect on their journey through planned videos and their art work.
-
In addition to the videos, Diane and Connie will also be taking photos throughout the visit for use at September's event and for sharing with our supporters.
