Back to School in East Africa

"Back to school" – three words dreaded by Canadian children – is a beautiful but often elusive dream for children in developing countries. In Uganda and Ethiopia, education is the critical building block for a secure future, but there are more students wanting to learn than there are schools or teachers, as Debra Kerby reports.

CFTC Program Officer Inspired by Ugandans
In June, Mueni Udeozor (second from right), Program Officer, travelled to Uganda to meet with CFTC's community partners. In her first visit on behalf of CFTC, she was deeply moved by the conversations she had with the families and children our programs support. Check out our exclusive interview with her here.
  Super Defenders in Bolivia
The Juana Azurduy Centre in Sucre, Bolivia has developed the Super Defenders interactive educational tool to educate children, teachers, parents and guardians about abuse, its long-term effects and alternatives to abusive parenting. Help support this innovative program to protect Bolivia's at-risk kids.

Donor Spotlight
Thank you to the Leanne Palylyk Children's Foundation for generously supporting the construction of a girls' dorm at House of Hope Orphanage in Haiti. Their help plus support from other generous donors means the girls should have a new home by the end of this year.

Thank you to the employees of TELUS and ATCO Electric. These employees doubled the impact of their gifts by having their donations matched by their companies, which means a larger impact for more children! Kudos to everyone who participates in an employee giving program.

Special appreciation to Anilin Decorating Centre in Calgary. As a corporate supporter of Canadian Feed The Children since 1996, their continued generosity has touched the lives of thousands of children around the world.
