Uganda Children’s Fund: Our Advent Commitment

Each Advent season, St. John’s School joins with the St. Nicholas Uganda Children’s Fund to support two students in Kampala, Judith and Calvin. There is no free public school system in Uganda; our community’s gifts make their tuition, uniforms, food, and medical care possible so they can remain in the classroom and thrive.

Learn more about the St. Nicholas Uganda Children’s Fund in this short video:
