> A day for our everyday heroes
>What would we be without our staff?
Without the people who are on campus every day, accompanying, listening, guiding, cooking, protecting, caring and teaching?
Especially in a country like Uganda – one of the youngest countries in the world – they have a special role to play:
They shape not only everyday school life, but the future of an entire generation.
💛 A day full of gratitude
That is why, at the end of the year, we deliberately paused and celebrated a very special day: our Staff Appreciation Day
It was a day of togetherness – with good food, conversations, laughter and moments of gratitude.
There were small gifts, personal words, moving speeches and a festive meal together.
A day on which the focus was not on performance, but on appreciation.
👩🏫 More than lessons
Our teachers achieve incredible things – often with limited means, but with all the more heart, patience and passion.
They are role models, mentors and trusted caregivers for more than 200 children. Day after day. Year after year.
But our school does not live through teachers alone.
👩🍳🩺🛡️ Everyday heroes on campus
Our cooks, caretakers, the nurse, the security staff and other employees were part of this day too.
People who often work in the background – and yet are indispensable for a safe, loving school day.
On this day everyone was simply able to:
-
be there
-
listen
-
tell their stories
-
share with one another
As a team. As equals.
🗣️ Room for honest feedback
The Appreciation Day was not only a thank-you – it was also a space for trust.
Our staff had the opportunity to talk openly with us:
-
What is going well?
-
Where can we offer better support?
-
What is missing on campus?
-
What were the personal highlights and challenges of the year?
The conversations were honest, touching, sometimes challenging – and above all valuable.
They show us how important it is to listen and to grow together.
🌱 “I am seen. I matter.”
For many staff members this day was an emotional highlight of the year.
A moment that showed them: My work counts. I am seen. I matter.
And they do matter – to every single child and to us as an organisation.
