About Our Volunteers

Carolyn Agee and Sandra Calhoun volunteered for the period of one month. They came from the USA to spend time in Uganda. They were the pioneer volunteers of the Youth League Organisation. Their voluntary services paved the way for other volunteers all over the world. During their service they took love, compassion and working together as first priority. Your Initial services will continue to bless the targeted beneficiaries.

Richard Rix from the UK also volunteered for the period of one month. During his service the organization succeeded perfectly in our outreach programs which involves mobilisation of communities about the prevention of HIV/AIDS and also healthy living when HIV positive.

In our Orphanage school (Divine Mercy Day and Boarding Primary School) the orphans used to sleep without beds, on very old mattresses on the floor. There is now a promising end. Richard contributed many mattresses and beds to the school for the orphans and vulnerable children which improved their livelihood and academic standards at school. He created a landmark to their welfare. Not only did he create that but he also actively participated in the teaching and provided advice and support to the staff. From now and in the future the organization will respect you, your love and compassion towards mankind.

Like Richard, Baibre Munnis was a volunteer for The Youth League Organisation at the same time. She was dedicated to fulfill the aims and objectives of the organisation. She was committed to teaching the Pupils at Divine Mercy and giving community talks on HIV/AIDS awareness in local villages. She and her grandmother have committed to sponsoring two children. She has also provided them all the necessary schooling materials and clothing. They now look like good pupils and their bright future is calling. The organisation thanks god for the gift of Baibre and her grandmother, aged 90 for that kind of generosity towards Ugandan children.

We still need more volunteers, charitable offers, donations, capacity building and sharing of information. We, at The Youth League believe that "together as one we will make the world a better place to live".

Easter Update

The Youth League has been working tirelessly to upgrade one of their most beloved projects; the Divine Mercy Primary and Boarding School. Recently the desks arrived at the school and are looking great. The kids now have the room and ability to work without having to worry about penning and balancing their assignments on their laps. The pharmacy is fully stocked with medical supplies and the library for Divine Mercy is underway. The Youth League is happy to accept donations of books and thanks all those who have made this possible. The library is kept under lock and key in the main office at the school, all supplies are very safe and well kept after. Daos is an amazing instructor and caretaker; he is keeping after the school as best as he can and watching the enrollment grow daily.

Outreach has been going very well. Frank and Kayirra have visited many of the rural villages surrounding the Mukono district. The Youth League traveled to Nagalama Hospital to meet with local families and patients suffering from HIV and AIDS, many fruits were distributed to the children and families to aid them. The Youth League visited Kiwala Village, counseling families and children on HIV and AIDS as well as treatment, the spread, the stigma and prevention and in turn referred many of the relevant cases to local hospitals. It was an incredibly interesting, troubling, touching day for all of us involved.

January, February and March have been very busy months for the brothers as well as the volunteers involved. No day is wasted and important events are coming together seamlessly!!!

Happy Easter to all and speak with you soon.
