Marare, Nashisa, and Busekera celebrate!
JOURNEY JOURNEY MARARE & NASHISA, UGANDA A
fter a fruitful decade of partnership with Food for the Hungry (FH), three communities in East Africa were ready to party! Marare and Nashisa in Uganda and Busekera in Rwanda organized epic celebrations to remember how far they’ve come and tell the story of their journey through speeches, songs, dances, poems, and skits. They invited regional leaders, representatives from the Ministries of Health and Education, FH partners, and Canadian partners and child sponsors (like you!) to witness their triumph and share in their joy.
Students celebrated their communities’ enthusiasm for education with special songs and dances.

These communities have worked with Food for the Hungry to design and create sustainable solutions to their particular challenges. By working together— strengthening leadership and establishing community groups to build financial stability, improving health, raising the level of education—they have woven a strong fabric of resilience that supports their communities from the inside out.
