A new partnership begins with SKAU in Uganda

On behalf of Kindness Club International I am happy to share our new webpage dedicated to Save Kyamulibwa Alliance Uganda (SKAU). Please take a look and learn the story about how it began and the work the team is doing to change lives as told by Ddumba Hakim. See for yourself in the many photos of their projects.

On the new page, I also share opportunities you have to get involved. They are making a big impact and can do even more with increased resources. So far, KCI has facilitated 21 children getting scholastic supplies and basic necessities, in just a 10 days. With the partnership of Linnea Quarfordt McFadden, author of It’s Cool to be Kind, our team is growing and the ideas for fundraising expanding. Please email me at melindasforward@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

Check out their dedicated web page:
Kindness Club International – SKAU Global Partnership

Why SKAU? I know that’s a good question since Uganda is a long way from New Mexico. After seeing Facebook posts by Ddumba Hakim showing the work he was doing with orphans, widows, and youth in his village, I was inspired to learn more. When I learned more I was even more inspired. KCI is now dedicated to building our global partnerships to create a stronger web of support for the SKAU team.

The story does get better. Even more amazing is the fact that Brian Lee McMahon, their USA representative, lives just 30 minutes from me in Madrid, New Mexico. I found that out when Brian was with Ddumba in Uganda. Upon his return to New Mexico, after our meeting, I felt more positive than ever that we are meant to work with the SKAU team, Brian, and everyone else who wants to join this global partnership to change lives.

If you would like to participate, please feel free to contact me at melindasforward@gmail.com. We are looking to connect with more people. Everyone has a place in this partnership and can help us further our mission. All you need is enthusiasm!

Here are the 8 children who received the first set of scholastic materials.
