Some repairs needed to be done at our school in Uganda. We were going to hire some contractors to do some of the work, but the students insisted on helping out.
It fills all of us here at Meaningful Volunteer with so much gratitude when we see the students taking such pride in their school.
Well done everyone!
After many hours of hard work, we are proud to present our brand new site!
We striped down a lot of the core content to concentrate on what our core mission is now, which is to sustainably support our schools in Uganda and Nepal.
So take a look around and let us know what you think!
And a big thank you to everyone who was supported us over the years!
Meaningful Volunteer wouldn't be what it is without our wonderful staff!
So a special happy birthday to the wonderful Mary who keeps Meaningful Volunteer humming along in Uganda day after day.
Thanks Mary. You're the best!
Thanks to a generous donation by the Manly family, we are able to make some improvements to the Robyn's Nest extensions to the school.

The Manly family recently had a volleyball tournament to raise money for the School for Andy and and the Mason McPherson Foundation.
Thanks to their generosity we have now lit up the Robyn's Nest extension in Uganda with a solar system.

The children in Uganda finally have their playground and can celebrate their right to play!
The new playground at our school in Uganda is complete!
Check out all the pics below.
The donation was made possible through the generous donation of Anne and Doris Eichmeyer in honor of Doris' grandchildren Asher and Jory.
Many of the children didn't know what a "swing" or "see-saw" was, let only played on one.
Now they have the opportunity to experience and get some good time in just being kids!
Article 24 of the Declaration of Human Rights states that:
Everyone has the right to rest and leisure
We feel this extends to children's right to play, so we couldn't be happier that this playground is up!
Check out a video of the playground below.
We had a blessing/cleansing ritual (Puja) today, by very respected High Monk Palten Pals Ten & his team from Jangchub Choeling Monastery at our preschool in Nepal, for prosperity of all our Meaningful Volunteer Family, School For Andy Family & all our kind supporters.
Thank you High Lama for giving us your precious time!
Check out pictures from the ceremony below.
