Communication should never take place via social media platforms or texting applications such as WhatsApp and Viber. Please help us in ensuring this does not take place. It causes additional work on both sides of the ministry when students give false information. There have been many instances over the years when a sponsored child communicates with his or her sponsor and gives an inaccurate picture of their situation at school thus causing confusion, which in turn demands time on the part of the administration to clear up the confusion.
Buyamba takes great joy in seeing sponsors communicate with their child through letters online, handwritten letters and even visiting them in person. In the same fashion, the students at God Cares communicate through hand written letters and face to face visits if the sponsor is in Uganda. There are processes in place to ensure the flow of all communications between sponsor and child.
Picture
When a child communicates to a sponsor outside of the processes in place, they are actually breaking school rules. Again, we are asking you to help us by communicating only through the systems in place.

There are reasons this system is set up the way it is. For one, the letters are all processed through our trained social workers at the school, ensuring the safety of our children. Second, communication outside of these methods leaves room for misunderstandings and ultimately, it is for the best interest of all involved.

Please come alongside us in this way. If your sponsored child attempts to contact you through Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp or any other medium outside of Buyamba, please first remind them that Buyamba does not allow students to use social media with their sponsors and to please write to you through the social worker and you will get letters accordingly. If it persists, please notify our offices and we will help get these communications back on track.

Attention: sponsors of students in P7

2/6/2017

The new term at God Cares Schools starts February 6, 2017, and all students who were in Primary 7 last year, will now be moving to Senior 1 class (high school). God Cares High School is at least one hour away from God Cares Primary and so all of the new Senior 1 students will need residential sponsorship to board at the school.

Picture
If you sponsor one of these students, know that a volunteer from our office will be contacting you soon to see if you would like to sponsor your child's residential needs to cover their room and board.

Perhaps you have a friend that wants to partner with you to sponsor your child with you? Consider sharing the love of the child sponsorship experience with someone else.
