Buyamba Events
Events take place throughout the entire year. Whether it's our annual dinner, a fundraising event, or our monthly newsletter stuffing. Check back often to see upcoming events and recap of past events.
Want to plan your own event? We would love to speak at your church, school, organization, or small group and share Buyamba with your friends. Feel free to contact us at info@ugandabuyamba.com
Join Us For The Dongo Run - October 19, 2019Every year, the Dongo family leads the God Cares School community and Kabalagala Pentecostal Church in a special event called the Dongo Run in memory of the founder of GCS, the late Pastor Bethuel Dongo. This year will be the fourth year celebrating the life of Pastor Dongo, and it is quite the event as hundreds run to honor a man who stood as a father to the fatherless.
This October, the Dongo family decided to use the Dongo Run as a way to raise funds for the Dorm building campaign by selling t-shirts that reflect the occasion. This is their very first fundraising event and we want to show our partnership in this effort.
By working together with the team in Uganda we are "making room for future generations" as all our fundraising efforts will go towards the construction of the Dorms at God Cares High School. The dorms will create much needed space for the current students as well as make room for even more students to enroll at God Cares, gain an education, and learn about Jesus.

For the fourth year in a row Buyamba will be hosting a Pumpkin Patch on the lawn of Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village. This is one of our favorite events of the year as people come from all reaches of the Conejo Valley to pick a pumpkin and support our efforts to build dorms at God Cares high school. We are grateful to Coastal Fresh Farms for donating so many beautiful pumpkins!
Every year God has been SO faithful providing through this family fun event. Last year over one weekend we raised $35,000!!
Join us this year, Saturday October 12th and Sunday the 13th before and after services at Calvary Community Church. There will be games, photo ops and plenty of pumpkins to choose from!
