International Mother Language Day is celebrated annually on 21 February, focusing on multilingual education as a pillar of intergenerational learning. The average member of the EarlyBird256 community speaks at least three languages, and we are a growing, diverse community.

“We are proud to be part of the GlobalGiving network and to share our passion for #DoingLittleThingsWithPassion. Our workshops are mostly funded by our own resources with some support from the generous EarlyBird256 Squad. This opportunity will help us expand our impact and reach more students who need our help. Besides providing arts education and free breakfast, we also want to help our students complete their secondary education and beat the odds” Reginah Sanyu, Founder

We invited five students from the current Rev. Nayenga Candidate class to do a job shadow at a local KBS Radio Station in Kamuli. These five students scored the top results in their EarlyBird practice exams, so they were rewarded with a tour and lunch at the radio station. We welcome future collaborations with any Ugandan business or organization that is willing to invite our students over for a job shadow. We want the students to experience first hand the many ways they can be amazing in their own communities. Below are the reviews from the student representatives.

After enduring one of the longest lockdowns in the world, Uganda is finally opening its schools again. We’re thrilled that many of the country’s children will once again be able to attend classes and receive the education and stimulation they need. In addition to this great news, EarlyBird256 has its own exciting announcement to make — After attending an EarlyBird256-sponsored workshop, a headteacher of a local high school was inspired to do something. The teacher, Ms. Olivia Nambi from Busoga High School, helped secure the new scholarship program for the students.
