ACO: partnering schools in Uganda
Reply
The principal of #WMSF, Kevin Gilmartin, introduced the AOC launch event: “A project that changes young lives!” He described AOC as a “wonderful organisation and something that is growing into something even more incredible”.
WMSF Principle introducing the launch event
AOC trustees then explained some of the motivations that drive AOC:
Dr David Mills explained some of the history of AOC, from its beginnings as Solomon’s Children. Throughout, this Ugandan proverb has been an important factor in our work: ‘The small things we do in friendship are more important than the big things we do in service’. He told the inspiring story of Solomon (see ‘about us‘) and emphasised AOC’s strapline ‘when will we learn’, saying that “we have a great deal to learn from Uganda”.
Liz Walton OBE, discussed how All Our Children want to promote vocational studies through partnerships (short video clip here), and summarised AOC as “partnering schools in Uganda”.
