Hi my dear Friends,
I am writing to give you a report of the work that has been accomplished by the apprentices since the lockdown began in March due to COVID19.
When I left the end of February, a temporary weather protection was put on the roof to protect it from the rains. Thankfully, a grant of $2000 from SAMS (Society for Anglican Missionaries and Senders) was awarded in May which eventually allowed for the purchase of the materials to finish the roof and protect the building—because of the lockdown everything was delayed for weeks. The apprentices were then able to put on the metal roof, which was completed the end of June. The terrazzo floors have been finished and the building is already being used for pre-natal counseling. The community appreciates the symbol of Christ’s love for them in having such a building to bring God’s new life into the world.
Sincerely,
Patrick Lutalo

We are deeply honored to receive this special community award and grateful to everyone who has supported the mission of Teach Men to Fish. This recognition is not simply a celebration of one individual, but of the apprentices, volunteers, families, mentors, donors, and community partners who have made this work possible. As Patrick Lutalo shares in his appreciation report, every milestone has been achieved through the dedication of countless people working toward a common purpose. What began as a construction skills training program has grown into something far greater. Apprentices are not only learning valuable trades that provide sustainable careers, but they are also using those skills to transform their own communities. From building a much-needed maternity facility in rural Uganda to constructing a new Community Healthcare Center that will eventually serve more than 500,000 people, these projects demonstrate the lasting impact of investing in people and practical education. Although time during the award ceremony will not allow Patrick to share the full story, we invite you to read his complete appreciation report below. It highlights the journey behind Teach Men to Fish, the remarkable accomplishments of its apprentices, and the vision for creating stronger, healthier communities through education, opportunity, and service. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your encouragement and support continue to empower lives and inspire hope for generations to come.
