The construction of a larger, three-storey building began in 2015. In addition, the construction of a school enables all children from our orphanage to attend school.
Father Joseph receives an award from the state administration for the best-run orphanage. Congratulations Joseph!
When we visited in November 2015, the shell of the building was already complete. A playground had also been built in front of it.
My time at the "Home of Joy" children's home in Uganda was a formative and enriching experience. During my stay, I was not only able to make a direct contribution to the children's everyday lives, but also gain valuable insights into a different culture and way of life.
I helped look after the children, assisted with everyday tasks and organized playful and creative activities. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and joie de vivre of the children and the commitment of the staff. On site, I experienced a caring and supportive environment in which solidarity and mutual appreciation were tangible.
This experience broadened my view of the world and showed me how important interpersonal commitment is. I am very grateful for my time at the "Home of Joy" - it made me grow personally and I will always remember it.
