The Project of Bright

Bright lost both his parents some years ago and now lives with his Grandparents who are quite old and sick themselves. The grandparents were unable to pay for him to complete the last year of his O levels, but they have given him one of their fields. His field project will pay for his fees and he has now returned to school. He is 19.

Date	Update
Nov 2009	The peas in Bright's field are all growing well and we hope to harvest so we can sell during the run up to Christmas. Bright has just finished his O level exams and will now how his long holiday!
October 2009	We have now planted Bright's large field with peas and look forward to a good crop from this spacious field. Bright is now in the last term of his O levels - exams in November.
August 2009	The whole of Uganda has really suffered from poor rains June-August. All harvests, including Brights have been very bad and people are suffering. Rains have started again now and we will replant his large field with peas. The project has now built a 5000L water tank to help in the next dry season.
14 April 2009	Now that the potatoes harvested from Emmy/Jerome have brought sprouts, Bright's field has now been planted with Potatoes. This is a large field, so we are expecting many sacks when we harvest in 3 months!Bright continues in his GCSE year at school and is doing well. He recently registered for all his exams.
20 Feb 2009	Bright has just returned to school now for his GCSE (O Level) year after missing some weeks due to no fees. Unfortunately he was sick with malaria, but will return to school on Monday. The project is planning to buy mosquito nets for all the families we work with, which can be paid for from profits. Digging has begun in his field ready for planting before the main rains in March-April.
