Summer 2020 Online Art teaching to Kasangula School
We weren't able to travel to help children last summer due to the Pandemic. But, we didn't stop!
We donated the computers and art supplies to Kasangula School in Uganda, and we virtually taught them art.
We helped them to have solar panels in 2017 and they have an electricity, so we were so lucky!
