Beacon of Hope in Uganda

Here's a video on Pilgrim Uganda's school in Soroti, Uganda:



(The girl who speaks at 7:44 is great, by the way.)

Another intern and I watched this on Monday as part of our training. We're working to refine accounting procedures, policies, and systems for Pilgrim's Uganda offices in Kampala and Soroti. This will allow them to keep better track of their finances, spend more wisely/efficiently, and create better financial accountability. This is a huge deal for them because there is not much of an "accounting mindset" that's been fully established. Also, it's always great for donors/investors to know that their money is being used with due diligence.

I'm excited... are you?
