What an amazing year!
We started the year in boxes as we transitioned from Gaba to Buloba. Over the Christmas and New Years holiday 32 staff moved to Buloba and we all reported to work in January to find 100 construction workers on campus preparing the new facilities.
By February students were reporting while the renovations were still taking place. Picnic tables were used as offices, classrooms were temporary dormitories and we ended up with our largest intake of students ever.
By March 25th the Prime Minister of Uganda Apolo Nsibambi was officially opening our new Buloba campus while the paint on the walls was still drying!
Throughout the months of May-August our campus gained total access to student's with disabilities and our computer lab received a major overhaul doubling from 20 computers to 42!
By September we had 155 students of which 70 were receiving scholarships from you, our friends and supporters! Throughout the term these students gave back to ARCC by volunteering 7,000 hours in the kitchen, library, office and IT lab and an additional 2,500 hours on the farm and campus maintenance projects during our Friday Community Days.
God's provision continued to amazes us was we completed our $250,000 Renovation Project in June and were then able to raise an additional $100,000 from June to December to buy 4.25 acres.
Looking back this has truly been an amazing year! Step by step we are watching God transform our college into a premier training center for training the next generation of Christian leaders for Africa!
Thanks for you for partnering with us to equip Christian leaders for the transformation of society!
