I received this email from Deaf In Action, the organization Jerry set up after graduating from university in Uganda.
Dear Great Friends,
Receive our sincere greetings.
With great pleasure. We would like to inform you that our tools from Tools With A Mission have arrived in Uganda, from UK. (See details in the attached Gift Certificate)
These tools, as earlier on Stated, shall be used to provide skills training to the Deaf and other young people.
Our plan is to set up the training center and begin with the training Next Year.
We are picking these tools this month.
We can't wait to see you visit us this month as we bring these machines from Mindset Uganda (a partner to Tools With A Mission).
Kind regards.
Jerry and Oryem
I received an update from Oryem!
Deaf In Action just received an assortment of Skills Training Tools from Tools With A Mission through Mindset Development Organization.
We picked up these tools on 02 Oct 2023, in the morning from TWAM warehouse in Entebbe, Uganda.
These tools shall help us in skilling the young people in Tailoring and Fashion Design, Knitting and Business Skills.
These trainees shall be examined by the Directorate of Industrial Training, and be awarded with Certificates upon completion of their 9 months training.
We thank everyone who contributed towards these achievement.
Kind regards.
