PCF holds second annual general meeting

Proteqt Children's Foundation recently held its second annual general meeting on Saturday October 16th at Collymore Rock, St. Michael.

Items on the agenda included the Chairman's report - which detailed the progress made and some of the challenges faced by PCF, the auditor's report, and a question and answer session.

A group exercise entitled: 'Developing a Viable Plan for Sustainable Fundraising' generated some very original and creative ideas from those who attended.

The first of a two-part feature on Proteqt Children’s Foundation (PCF) was published in the September 6th edition of The Sunday Sun newspaper. In the feature, Dr. Veronica Evelyn, chairman of PCF, spoke about the origins of PCF and what prompted her to establish the organization. She also offered some important insight on Uganda’s educational system, some of the challenges faced by both students and teachers, and also some of her goals for PCF. The feature concludes next Sunday with a focus on the way forward for PCF.
