Springs alive has today dispatched one of its Directors, Mr.Kakaire Fred to UK, for a period of about two weeks.
One of the purposes of this visit is to honor the ‘exchange visit’ when Madam Chloe Hodgson from Whitkirk Primary School UK in Leeds, visited us here at Springs Alive in Uganda.
Fred works with Springs Alive on volunteer basis and can perform very well like would the chief Administrator Springs Alive Community school.
Fred heads Springs Alive research Division and will also be looking out for any possible opportunities of making friends that have passion toward what we are doing, however Fred is also to work as advance team, in preparation for the chairman Springs Alive, just in case he will have to visit UK later!
Other purposes of this visit include; concretising Springs Alive Community School’s relationship with Whitkirk Primary School, in regard to having projects like teacher exchange, letter writing, student exchange, fundraisings made with this education linkage. There is also classroom observation, our school is supposed to adapt the child centered learning system and abandon the teacher centered learning.
In the picture, is when he is preparing himself for the take off at Entebbe International Airport _Uganda, with Emirates Airlines.Much thanks to the chairman Advisory Board Springs Alive,Mr.Ssemmanda Aloysius for all the support!We can hardly thank you enough!
Otherwise we hope to move forward with our two schools' collaboration.

The man we sent to UK had some other things to do and given our shoe string budget, by the time he got the money to go, the UK school was in recess and he didn’t get communication from that school for a whole week.
We had sent several email messages to several staffs of the UK school but didn’t get any response.
We only got communication this week from the UK school, telling us they had been for a break, when the man we sent is saying it had become very expensive for him to keep staying there and also the weather which is not used to and has returned.
My major purpose of travelling to U.K was to attend Workshops and attend meetings with the various heads of departments of the constitute colleges of University of London on International Programme.
The visitation to other school was not possible owing to the tight schedule drawn by my hosts.
