Letter from Asiimire Traise, of Class Primary 6, Light Junior School, Isingiro, Uganda, to the Coordinator of the Movement of Life in Uganda

3rd MARCH 2020

Dear sir,

I have written to appreciate you for the best things you’re doing for us in our school.

I would like you to know what the Movement of Life has helped me to achieve as a young girl.

First of all, the Movement of Life has helped me to know how to communicate in public through the parliamentary debates.

Secondly, I now know the foods I need to eat and those I need to stop eating for the good of my health.

Thirdly, the Movement of Life has helped me to gain skills whereby I now know how to start small projects like growing vegetables, growing fruits, and bee keeping.

Fourthly, I and my fellow pupils at school have started setting up some projects whereby we can sell harvests and get money to buy books, pens and other things to help our parents.

It has also developed my leadership skills because I have led my fellow pupils as a deputy speaker of our School Health Parliament club for one year.

Thank you very much.

Yours,

ASIIMIRE TRAISE
Deputy Speaker to the School Health Parliament

Dear sir,

This letter has been written to appreciate you for the good things you are doing for us in our school and other schools in the country. We’re really thankful.

I am glad to inform you that through the Movement of life, my life has changed and I can now think positively about my future.

First of all, I have been able to learn how to communicate in discussions like the parliamentary debates. I am no longer shy.

Secondly I have gained skills, especially rabbit keeping, vegetable growing and bee keeping. I can grow and care for my crops.

I have also learnt how to grow crops like cabbages, carrots and spinach, as well as how to care for them.

Also, through our coordinator we have received garden tools such as rakes, hoes, pangas, watering cans and others which we used to see in pictures in textbooks. These were given to our School Health Parliament Club and we are able to use them in gardens, and we also learn about them in Science lessons.

Yours sincerely,

AYESIGAMUKAMA GRACE

Dear Sir,

I am writing to appreciate what you have done in our school and other schools in our country Uganda.

I want you to know that through the Movement of life, and things such as the School Health Parliament Club, I have gained the following:

1. First, I have gained new skills, especially those to help in the starting of small scale projects like planting crops, animal keeping and other things, many of which are done by our club at school.
2. I have also studied how to treat some diseases using organic medicine through workshops attended by our leaders, who also train us at school.
3. Secondly, our class also carries out science practical lessons related to plant growing in our club’s crops, and this has improved performance in the subject.

The Movement of Life is good.

Therefore I love Movement of Life activities with all my heart.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

I have written this letter to appreciate you for the good work you’re doing for our school, neighbouring schools, and communities in our country.

I wish to tell you that, through Movement of Life projects such as the school Health Parliament club, I have gained in the following areas:

• First of all, I have been able to communicate in public through debating, discussing, and many other activities.
• Secondly, I have been able to learn new skills for making money like starting small scale projects such as poultry keeping, crop growing, and many others, which has enabled me to start buying scholastic materials for myself.
• I have also learnt some foods to eat in order to avoid malnutritional diseases.
• Furthermore, I and my fellow pupils at school have started setting up small scale industries like production of juice from mangoes, oranges and pineapples.
• Our class also can do practical things concerning crop growing.

There’s no word to say other than saying “May God bless you.”

In fact, I request the government of Uganda to fund the project such that it can reach many schools in Uganda.

Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

I am writing to appreciate you for the work you’re doing for us in our school and for changing our lives in a positive way.

I want that you know that, in our school, I have benefited from the following because of our School Health Parliament Club:

First of all, I have learnt how to cure some diseases using plant based medicine.

Secondly, I have gained skills like how to rear rabbits, goats, and growing crops like fruits and beans.

Thirdly, the School Health Parliament Club has helped me on how to speak in public through debating in the School Health Parliament debates.

Fourthly, I have learnt how to set up projects like rearing animals and bee keeping etc, and I hope to continue advising other people, especially my fellows, to do the same.

Furthermore, I have gained skills on how to make organic pesticides because of our school garden, in which we use them to grow cabbages, passion fruits and others.

I have learnt how to lead many pupils as their speaker and how to chair meetings guided by my teacher, Tr. Mujuni Ignatius. We thank God for him because he helped us to understand how the club works and he still helps us.

Thank you very much, may God bless you.

Yours faithfully,

Letter from Nuwasiima Angella, of Class Primary 6, Light Junior School, Isingiro, Uganda, to the Coordinator of the Movement of Life in Uganda

3rd MARCH 2020

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to appreciate the wonderful things that you’ve done for us in our school and for us as pupils.

I would like to let you know that the Movement of Life  projects have helped us to learn how to share with others, and in the parliament debates we exchange ideas about challenges we face in life and how to solve them.

Secondly, I have learnt how to bed the seeds and to remove them from the bed to plant them while spacing them in big gardens (transplanting).

Thirdly, since you brought this project, we started eating a balanced diet and vegetables like carrots, cabbages, and many others at school, and we look healthy. All these are got from our own gardens.

I have also learnt how to treat some diseases using organic medicine and this has reduced our family’s expenditure on manufactured drugs.

Thank you so much our beloved Gyavira.

Yours sincerely,

NUWASIIMA ANGELLA
