I want to thank everyone who has donated, given their time, or prayed to help grow Rising Star Junior School.  It was back in 2008 Ryan gave everything he had and much of what he didn’t have to open a school in Uganda.  We’re currently educating nearly 400 vulnerable and orphaned children.  Expecting not more than 50 students at the start, the current situation was unexpected, but welcomed.  With that unexpected growth, we had to improvise with temporary classes, water shortage, and lack of funds.  But because of all of your generous givings, we’re able to keep up with the demand.  Without your continuous help, we’d be nowhere.

When we opened our doors in 2012, we saw children that had no educational background, that were orphaned and needy, some whose home conditions were leading to death, and nearly all who had little hope of a future.  At Rising Star, we teach these children that they are valuable, that they are respected, and that they are loved.

The current need we are facing is that the school currently does not have a security wall arround the entire school. So for the safety of keeping people out and keeping the kids in we need to construct the remaining parts of the wall.

 Currently their is  a partial wall and securitiy gate at the entrance but the rest of the school is open 

 We are hoping that with your help and the purchase of a shirt we will be able to complete the wall on th open sides of the school to help protect the kids and keep them safe.

We are also asking that once you recieve your shirt that you take a photo with it on and post it on social media with the Hashtag #WrappedWithLove So that we can collect the photos to send to the children so they can see who supported them and Wrapped them With Love. Because together we ARE World Changers!! :)

With Love,

Joel & Stefani Dunn
