CACI King David Learning center helps to change the lives of children through education in the remote community of Kiwugo Mukono where it’s hard for these children to predict what their future will be, and what their next generation will look like and this alone creates fear in our hearts me and you with this in mind, what if from these children a doctor is made who is likely to care for our old age treatment, or a lawyer rescuing our property and other important society people coming out of these children.
However, considering the families where these children come from and surviving on one meal a day due to poverty in the family household these mentioned future expectations will be a dream for these children at the center. And yet any child would deserve a good living life with education, shelter, feeding, and good health.
Therefore, Travelers by choosing to volunteer with us, this alone will strengthen and build the community, and make connections with the children you're helping this will increase the volunteers’ socializing in the community and it will improve volunteers' mental and physical health as well as lowering the risks for depression and anxiety even after you left the center because the children and the people you associate with will be sharing interesting stories, their experience, with a smile, calling you in the local language “Muzungu) meaning a white person, greeting you always in wanting to hear your response in the simple English they know.
The school will provide travelers with an opportunity to practice their’ self-confidence and hands-on practice in teaching the children English and Math, singing, fundraising ideas, cleaning etc, this will build volunteers’ social skills, and develop awareness and experience because our program benefits everyone while at school and in the community where these children come from and for those looking to learn teaching as a new skill the staff will be helping to go through the lessons, share the practice of how to present it to the children and your ideas and learning views will be valued.
