Yesterday was a breakthrough!
One of my biggest worries with the Save Starlight School project has been this: Will our 115 orphans and those who join in the future grow into employable, entrepreneurial, purpose-driven adults?
Traditional education systems often fall short. They rarely equip children, especially those aged 3 to 16 like at @OrphansofUganda , with the real-world skills needed to become change-makers. And time is ticking fast.
Yesterday at the Africa Business Heroes info session, I met one of the co-founders of MST Junior School, a school already building the kind of future I dream of: sustainable, skill-based education rooted in ICT, carpentry, music, engineering, and farming.
We briefly explored the possibility of franchising or knowledge sharing and agreed for a future meeting, for the first time in a while I felt hope rise.
Discovering mstjuniorschool.ac.ug genuinely lifted a huge burden off my shoulders(watch video below and check their website)
Shoutout to RachealKabs and @studentofbitcoin who were the first to help me realize that raising well-rounded children isn’t just about money and buildings.
And special thanks to Rachel Bashabe for the invite. You helped unlock something big.
