A message from the trustees
Hello dear friends and supporters. Thanks to you so much has been achieved recently in Uganda with the clean water supply, the provision of a motorcycle (known there as a boda boda), new uniforms at each school and the current ongoing building of a 3 classroom block at Kakagate where the roof is now under construction as shown in the photo.
We are excited as we look forward to a team visit in June (12th-22nd) comprising 3 trustees (Jim, Denise and Peter D) and 5 supporters (Anne, Lynn, Odette, Tina and Ben). As part of that visit we would like to take a small gift for each of the 600 children. Inspired by Lynn and a group of women who are sewing pencil cases, we'd like to take a filled pencil case for each child. Please see below for more details and, although the cost of each gift is a modest £3.50 it'll be quite something to provide 600 of them so this is where we'd love it if each of you receiving this could put together (or pay for) one or more pencil case and we've already had an offer from one supporter to provide 100 so that's a brilliant start to this project.
If you live local to Llandudno then you can take a filled pencil case to Denise Picton at Emmanuel Church or Jim Mason at Gloddaeth church or to his home at the address below. If you live further afield and would like to make a donation then please use the bank details on the leaflet or post a cheque to the address below.
Thank you if you choose to join us in this and please pray for the visiting team in the preparations and during the visit. This really is a 'together' thing and every achievement so far is a result of that shared concern under the leading and love of our heavenly Father.

CAN WE GIVE A PENCIL CASE AND CONTENTS TO EACH OF THE
600 CHILDREN SUPPORTED AT THE 2 UGANDAN JUNIOR SCHOOLS?
A team from the UK is preparing to visit the schools in June and would love for each child to receive the gift of a pencil case.
To buy a pencil case and contents from ‘THE WORKS’ the cost would be £3.50 as below:
Pencil Case: £1.00
2 pencils: £0.20
8 colouring pencils: £1.00
1 ballpoint pen: £0.30
Ruler/Rubbers/Sharpener: £1.00
(the weight of these items is 140gms which allows us to take 600 within our luggage allowance!)
Please join us in trying to do this and go shopping! Alternatively you can make a donation via the team or by cheque to the above address or direct to the CHU (UK) bank account using the reference ‘pencil case’.

About
A bit of background
In 2010 a charitable work known as Parental Care Ministries UK was born out of Emmanuel Church in Llandudno and has supported impoverished communities in Uganda by providing financial and other compassionate support to primary and secondary schools in south west Uganda. In 2021 the time had come for the work to be registered with the UK Charity Commission as a charity in its own right under this new name.
CHU (UK) mainly supports two primary schools in the Ugandan villages of Kyehimba and Kakagate and it has been thrilling to see the development of each school since UK donors and
supporters became involved with the schools.
Please look through the rest of this website for a fuller picture of what has been achieved and
what is envisaged for the future.

The Kakagate staff ready for taking the children on the adventure of education!
Despite the continued need for improved facilities in Kakagate school, the children are delighted to be back.
​
Necessary building repairs have been undertaken here in Kakagate. This is the poorer of the two schools supported by CHU(UK) This building suffered a termite attack during lockdown, and needed repairs before the children could return. Several of the Kakagate buildings are still wooden structures.
Day 1 - a new term - back to school after two years - with new desks!
