the classes P.3 up to P.7 about HIV/AIDS, teamwork, life skills,
first aid and Christian values.
Many youth seem to appreciate the work of CHRISC and are
testifying about their changed behaviour, Christian faith and
improved self-esteem.

Between 25th-28th of January was such a good moment when CHRISC Uganda had its first HIV/AIDS Manual implementation Training. Overwhelmingly, Distrcit Program Managers and CHRISC Coordinators converged at Hotel Spacious Kyengera. It was such an Historical Training that projects the good, warm and fertile future for CHRISC Uganda in regards to HIV/AIDS prevention program.

Attached herein are some of the pictures depicting what transpired during this 3 days training. We believe together with your prayers, effort, passion and commitment, all stakeholders will embrace "our own HIV/AIDS Manual" and in the long run attain "MAD " leaders/Youths.
I mean those ones able and willing to make a difference in those ones served served.

God bless you so much and enjoy the pictures

SUCCESS STORY!!!!!!!!!

In October 2008 CHRISC Uganda initiated a partnership with St. Martins Primary
School in Mulago. This was started as a pilot to empowering youth in school through
sports activities.
The main objective of the school program was to develop and expose talents through
routine trainings and participation in leagues and tournaments. The other was to
impart life
skills amongst the pupils through movement games and share timely information
about
HIV/AIDS.
Namutosi Agnes (In picture) is a P.7 pupil at this School who has benefited a lot from
the CHRISC activities in St. Martins Primary School. She lives with only her mother in
Nsooba zone in Mulago East. Namutosi is the last born of the 6 children at home, she
is born on the 15th December 1998.
Namutosi has participated in CHRISC activities since P.5 when CHRISC work started
in the school. She points out the following achievements when interviewed “I have
developed my soccer skills, learnt how to behave well with my friends at school,
towards the teachers and my mother at home. I have also learnt the need to work with
others in a team. Participating in the just concluded East Africa Cup has enabled me
make new friends from Tanzania, Rwanda and even other parts of Uganda”.
The school has also expressed the achievements of CHRISC. The school head teacher
Mr Lubyayi Charles in an interview had this to say about CHRISC “We as a school are
very grateful to CHRISC, attendance of pupils has gone up ever since CHRISC
activities started in 2008. We are now the sports power in Kawempe division, we
emerged as football champions in the inter school football champions in the division
this year. This is mainly attributed to CHRISC work in this school. Talents have been
developed and exposed through participation in international events like the East
Africa Cup. CHRISC work has also improved performance of pupils in class, after a
sports activity they appear fresher and focused to learn”.
Pupils like Namutosi are helped to develop their talents and exposed through routine
trainings and participation in leagues and tournaments. As a result they are able to
learn from one another, make friends through interactions and make better decisions
for their future.
