| Pictorial Presentation of the LAU Activities |
| (Left) One of the students trying out her newly acquired skill by reading out to the whole class as part of training. (Right) Every available space can be a classroom. It does not require a fancy 'high-tech' class in order to conduct the lesson, any kid of space available is usable. In the picture is a class being conducted on the back verandah of the retail shop adjacent to LAU offices. According to Irene, 'waiting for classrooms to be available before we started the program was like delaying the birth of a child whose placenta had already been broken'. |
| A small chore of volunteer teachers. At the moment LAU does not have paid staff. All the teachers are volunteers who have offered to teach during their free time. This sometimes demands switching our schedule to fit into the time availability offered by the volunteers. Voluntary work requires a sympathetic people and sometimes, in the process you miss very nice people who do not necessarily want to work for no pay. |

| (Left) It did not require a gigantic signpost in order for people to know that something new had come in their neighborhood. With such humble beginnings, LAU has already impacted the lives of so many people who had lost hope of ever learning the simple skill of reading and writing. Standing by the signpost is the Executive Director, Ms. Irene Mondo. (Right) Teaching adults is pretty much similar to teaching young ones - they both require teaching aids hence the charts on the walls. Such teaching aids are not readily available in Uganda and if found they turn out to be very expensive while importing them is equally damn expensive. Donations are most welcome. |
