I have a scheduled speaking engagement on Nov 5 for a very presdigious group and hope to raise some money for LiA-USA to use in supporting the communities there in Uganda.

I have been a bit lost as to what approach to take given the confusion and indicision that has been expressed in other threads about the biz units, the coop and so on. So I have decided to focus strictly on school fees since I know that they will be coming due in January and I would like to build the fund as much as possible.

To help me in this I would really like some information.

  What is the exact cost of school fees for one term for one child?

  What else should be included besides the actual fee?

  Can you tell me how many children, approximately, in our communities (both Gulu and Kampala) that are going to be in need?

  Is it possible to get maybe a couple of stories about some of the members. Like how many children they are supporting, what happened to them, how they are surviving. I have many stories but they are outdated so I need some that are more current. And if I could get a few pictures, that would be great.
