AAH co-founder, John Wanda was joined by AAH Uganda staff at a meeting of Bumwalukani Community held at at Bumarakha Primary School on 4th November, 2023 . This school, located on top of Bumwalukani hill, was closed by the government in 2011 following a landslide in the area. Children from this area and surrounding villages have nowhere to go to school, and most stay at home.
The community, after lengthy discussions, resolved that the government re-opens the school in January 2024. The community will undertake needed repairs on the school, including new floors, repair doors and locks, and bring back any furniture in their possession. They committed to send children to school and feed them. Arlington teachers offered to volunteer and help with teaching as the government re-assigns teachers. Arlington will also provide some much needed supplies. The community resolved that the government provides Bumarakha the same resources they give to other schools in the district.
