BUCKS FOR BUFUNDI

Our friends at New Times School in Uganda are currently working to build a new school.   New Times school will not only own this building themselves, but it will house better classrooms and more dorms for students who stay at the school year round. 

 Ellison is joining the campaign to support New Times School's goal of finishing this project by Feb 2013!  A lofty goal, but we can help! Bricks cost $1.00 and are hand made on site in Uganda!    


Ellison is hosting a Bucks for Bufundi event!  Starting Oct 1-12 we will collect bucks and students will write their name on a paper "brick" showing their support.   Also, a tree seedling will be planted in the Bufundi district in each donor's name.  This is an in country effort to replenish the wood in the region.  Each $1 donated not only buys a brick for the project, but also enables a tree to be planted in Bufundi, Uganda!  We are urging kids to bring their bucks to school and suggesting that parents have their children "earn" those bucks they'll be donating.
