change the truth sponsored students

There are few things more rewarding than seeing our sponsored students spiffed up and ready to start the new school year. Term 1 just began in Uganda, and our kiddos were eager to get started. It's a tough schedule to which they must adhere, rising at 5 AM and going all day long until lights-out in the dormitory at 10 PM, but they know they are among the lucky ones to have this opportunity. Please say hello to our lovely, hard-working students. They attend several different schools; choice of school is based upon the specific talents/needs of each young person. Each school is close enough so that Melissa can be present at every Visitation Day. Thanks to her, these kids have a loving "parent" who is nearby and who is always available for emotional support. Mel took these wonderful photos as our students were preparing to leave for the first day of school. These are just 26 of our current crop of 43 scholars. CTT is proud of every single one of them.

young photographers at st. mary kevin children's home

It brings me great pleasure to share the work of the budding young photographers at SMK!

We've been so lucky over the years to have many people donate cameras, batteries and cards enabling these aspiring artists to do their thing. We've also had the great fortune of bringing over team members who are good photographers and good teachers. Because of their passion for sharing their knowledge and encouraging the children, we have some stellar work being made!

Huge thanks go to Scott and Jackie, members of Team 9, who devoted much of their time at SMK working with the kids who wanted to photograph. Here are some of the stunning results.

And then there's Nicky, who has taken everything we've ever offered to a whole new level - his.
