Equipped with our brushes, rollers, overalls and paint, we set off at about two in the afternoon. It had rained heavily that morning and the question that was lingering in the minds of the crew was “Who goes to Bwaise on a rainy day?” Notwithstanding that fact, we set off. We were going to paint a classroom at St James Church of Uganda Primary School that the headmaster gave us to use for our weekend programmes. He couldn’t wait to have us in his school.
With our gear, we were able to turn what at first look like a vain attempt, to a beautiful decorated classroom. Thanks to the “head prefect” of the day Roland Tibirusya who by the way is the young achievers award winner 2010 (Art and Design), gave us directions on how to go about the painting. He would have never done this alone but with the help of other young professionals that were enjoying every bit of the painting session. The touch of the roller was exquisite made the work easier and enjoyable.
And who says you need a lot of money to make a difference in your community. This classroom that we were painting will be used for our activities in skills training.
And as usual it was an opportunity for every one that was present to serve and to reach out to the community.
The day ended with a prayer and a vote of thanks from the headmaster who was visibly grateful for the work that we had done.
You can make a difference in your community if you chose to. If you would like to get involved in our upcoming activities please get in touch with us on +256 701 532 516 email us on agiuganda@gmail.com Thank you for visiting our blog.

A LOT WE HAVE ATTAINED
And much is expected to give to the world
Looking at Divine spiritual qualities, knowledge, skills that make us different when we identify with needs in people, and that is what makes us, so we have a lot.
Wanting a profile of purpose full artist like many who have excelled. It has been great journey and school of lessons, meant to learn much and desire to share that ,when you help other people get what they want its win win kind of Scenario .
A lot I have learnt that behind every need there is big Story .a story to share to inspire someone, people need to spoken to. And when we talked to them and identify a need it a great ministry
We act sympathizers, but act this time in the 21century we should empathize mean being in ones’ shoes of need.
These acts of love cost your money, your time and your reputation and many time we want save our lives and sometime we lose.
Thats why i agree that those want to save their own will lose it
The church is the hope to the world, thru it it’s the only place to transform happens and sinner is changed to an upright person in the entire universe ,
If the people that have blessed by the association if we do not act now, it means the future rests in the hands of the congregation (masses)
If David did keep his poetry to himself the world could have missed.
And if Jesus was comfortable not to leave heaven the world could be something else. Getting out of the confront zone around the people .We missed out to make statements in history We must reach out again and again though sometimes we might not have but who u know can,
Let us show some love,paint gain,and again cheers
