Meet Graduate: Racheal Namuddu

My name is Racheal Namuddu. I am the firstborn of five children. I joined God Cares Schools in 2009. My story started when my parents constantly failed to meet all my school needs and requirements, so they decided to seek help for my education. At that time, Buyamba was running two good schools, God Cares Nursery and Primary School, and God Cares High School.
The school focused mainly on children from poor family backgrounds and orphaned children who needed help to get an education. My mother was, and still is, a canteen (cafeteria) worker at God Cares Primary school. She reached out to the Buyamba offices and asked if they could offer me help and take me in so that I could have a brighter future.

After completing the Primary level at GCS, I finished the first four years (Ordinary-Level) and took my national exams, which did not come out as expected. I had lost hope of moving up to the Advanced level (S5-S6), but our social worker in Buyamba encouraged me and told me that I would become successful in life if I followed my dream. I heeded her advice, and since I had always loved children and had a passion for them, I decided to enroll in Early Childhood Development.

In 2019, I joined the Primary Teachers' College in Ggaba, still under the support of the Buyamba program. I finished my courses, and I am now a teacher by profession. I dearly love children and mentoring the younger generation by unveiling hope to them for a better future. That is why I am happy to boast about the Godly trail of love that Buyamba instilled in me that I also desire to invest in generations to come. Since joining Buyamba, I have been blessed and comfortable in their care.

I was once a hopeless child, but that is no longer my name. I am now a college graduate as of this May of 2022. I am currently serving as a teacher after following the advice given me by our social worker in Buyamba. As she had advised, I am a happy teacher during the school week and a Sunday school teacher at my church (Kabalagala Pentecostal Church). I am grateful to my parents, who constantly remind me to be thankful and serve diligently in every position the Lord entrusted me. There is no better way of expressing my gratitude to Buyamba Staff and our sponsors than to "THANK YOU, BUYAMBA, FOR BEING KIND TO US"
