News from Bunono Primary School
The Rotary Club of Forres has been proud to support Bunono Primary School in Uganda. Thanks to a District Grant we've been able to offer more support.
We have been able to help the school - which provides schooling and boarding for local children, many of whom are orphaned. The district grant enabled the purchase of play equipment for the younger children which in turn helps the wellbeing and educational opportunities of the school.
Rotarian Marlyn Somers recently visited the school and took books and other equipment for the children as part of her visit.
We think the photograph of the children using the equipment tells its own story!
