Our girls made it safely to Uganda last week.
So far they have read with local children at Kitengeesa Community Library, observed training with the women from Solar Sisters, prepared their own literacy program to deliver to kids in Ibanda, and spent time in the child care centre at TASO, a local HIV/AIDS clinic, as well as learning sign language at The Good Samaritan School for the Deaf. They are now getting ready to head out to a safari!

The results are in from the Canadian Youth Chess Challenge (July 3-6, 2012) (Swiss 6/7).
Annika, Gr. 4, came 6th in her category of 14 (with 4 wins of 7 games).
Pepi, Gr. 6 came 4th in her category of 10 (with 4.5 wins of 7 games) & Most outstanding Player Award for Day 1.
and Alice, Gr. 10, came 2nd in her category of 4 (with 3.5 wins of 6 games).
The competitors are all the best selected youth players in Canada so these are amazing results for the girls and the school!
How these girls did it all – we don’t know. And when the tournament ended.. they all played a knock-out Bughouse Doubles chess game while waiting for the results !
