The Galileo School

We have the awesome privilege of helping our friends set up a brand new school in Northern Uganda. This part of the world has been ravaged for years by a guerilla war group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army.  As a result, there is an extreme lack of basic infrastructure there.  Our friend’s, the Noels, have taken the call to help this region – starting with building a school near the village of Bul Kur (http://www.thegalileoschool.org).

Here's a little back story of the Galileo School.  This project has all come together in less than 12 months. Last summer the Noels went on a trip to N. Uganda to scout out the area for possible schools. During their time there they met a pastor who agreed to be the project manager and they found 150+ kids who needed a school. Then a villager donated the land for the new school.  Bada bing bada boom -- it was time to build a school.  The lesson is, when God says move, you better move because He has big things in store.

We will leave in mid-May and be gone for about 2 1/2 weeks. On our trip we are going to:

1.          Bring basic school supplies to the new school

2.          Provide basic medical supplies and health education to the local village

3.          Business & school consulting to promote self sustainability

4.          Scouting for future school locations, orphanage, etc.

Walls are up! Let's sing.

This will be the only brick building in the area.  Check out this article about the school here.

We desperately need your help for this trip. To be honest, The Galileo School won’t happen without you. Please join us on this endeavor in the following way(s):

·Please pray for the team, the school, and Uganda

·Donate to making this trip and school possible – our team must raise close to $30,000 dollars by April for school and medical supplies, plane tickets, etc. (all gifts are tax deductible - The Galileo School will send you a tax receipt): You can make payments online at http://www.thegalileoschool.org/giveonline.aspx as an Annual Fund donation.  Write “Nick and Jak” in the purchase description. 

We truly believe The Galileo School will have a huge, positive impact and change the trajectory of lives in Bul Kur, Uganda.  We’re blessed to be surrounded by such loving friends and family - thank you so much for your support!  And please pass this info along to anyone you think would want to help out this great school.
