Default Kasese Humanist School

I know there is a charity thread but I thought this endeavor deserved a thread of its own.

You may have read about the http://www.kasesehumanistschool.webs.com in Uganda in the latest AFA newsletter.

Quote:
Kasese Humanist Primary School is a secular school offering Nursery and Primary education to young people aged between 4 and 13 in the communities around Kasese Municipality.The education offered is free from dogmas and indoctrinations.Kasese Humanist Primary School is offering both Nursery and Primary Education with classes Nursery Lower, Middle, Top Nursery and Primary One - Primary Seven Class

The school is the first of its kind in the district and in Uganda to be set up based on humanist values and ethics, offering basic subjects as stipulated by the Uganda Primary School Curriculum and in addition Humanism lessons are conducted. In all subjects taught at school, emphasis is put on the application of a scientific approach and critical thinking. The school encourages pupils to be rational, innovative, creative, skilled, compassionate and tolerant.

I had always wanted to sponsor a child but don't like world vision's Christian ethos. So, I recently sponsored a child at this school and I'd like to encourage others here to do the same if you are able.

That's great. Now that you mention that I think I did read about it.
