Hello Pastor Fred,
Can you clarify a bit as to what you are looking for here? Are you looking for ideas to attract more visitors to the website or are you looking for someone to review the website and see ways to improve it from a marketing point of view?
If you are looking for was to increase traffic there are a number of things you can do:
1. Start a facebook page and link this page on Nabuur, the page on facebook and your website
2. Join other social networking groups such as Twitter (Maybe Romina knows more about these options....)
Where can we find in kind support for Kajjansi Children's Centre
Paul would like to find in kind support for the school BEHOD set up.
We'll apply for books at Biblionef. Mary posted a huge list of organisations in the Fundraising group:
Over time I have created a list of potential sources of funding, books etc which I add to as I find things.

Christopher-
One of the Local Rep's that I work with in Nepal was able to secure 3000 books for their school library simply by contacting local publishing houses in Nepal. This prompted me to look for resources within Uganda that you might contact. So far, I came up with these:

National Book Trust of Uganda (NABOTU)
Fountain House
Plot 55, Nkrumah Road,
3rd Floor, Suite 13 & 14
P O Box 25412, Kampala

Hi Tia,
This is a great start!
We have a literature review on School Feeding Programs (attached here) that I did a few months ago and incorporates some of the information from the WFP. They provide great information! USAID also has good info.
I'm going to try to open a wiki so that all the links can be put in one place - still have to figure out how to use it...
But as we find more programs that operate in Uganda or information on the costs of a program in Uganda, we can place them in the wiki.
Thanks and keep up the search!

Hi everyone- I have been researching into International Medical Corps as they do extensive medical/ health related work in Africa- including Uganda. The work they mainly do in Uganda is in areas where conflict affected refugees live. IMC do,however, work on projects which provide long-term health solutions for communities.
