Annual General Meeting-November 2019
What a great multitude we had today as we came to the end of year! This has been one of it’s kind ever since we began having these meetings.
This term just like other terms, we ended on well with a lot of laughter, amusements, speeches, and words of encouragement from different guests.
This time we had over five hundred people and so far, it has been ranked the best in terms of attendance especially with the guardians.
Academically, most of the students excelled in performance and in other disciplines apart from some few cases.
Besides our international guest, Uncle Jakobus from Germany, we had the new children together with their guardians who came to join the Kimbilio family as well as having a picture of what normally takes place.
There was awarding of gifts to best performing pupils/ students & teachers in academics, discipline,sports, hygiene, hard working prefects, spiritual aspects, among others. 
Afterward, Senior one students also honored our Directors by presenting a gift of appreciation for all God has used them to do in their lives.
On the side of speeches; Aunt Grace (Director Education),thanked every body for their hard work, introduced the new family members for 2020, appealed to guardians to consider the girl child needs, and reminded children not to forget about the theme we have had this year about “Social, Spiritual, and Academic Excellence”, and to accept whatever God will provide to their guardians.
While Uncle Cor (National Director), said was very happy for the children for doing well, the senior four and P7 who finished successfully, he reminded every one about the vision having educated, disciple d and empowered. He finally requested children and parents not to forget their gift of salvation in all. Our Chief guest from Germany hinted on Kimbilio being a place of refugee and helpless children to gain hope that when we reach heaven, there will be no color but rather we shall be one. Then all members were wished Merry Christmas and happy new year 2020.
We expect them to finish towards the end of this week (2019W47) so that next week on the 27th of November, all children can go home for their Christmas holidays.
This is being done through the help our internees who have been on ground for six weeks and are expected to finish this very week.
This year, we have 77 candidates who are to sit exams from here, 25 of these pupils are Kimbilio children and the others are from our neighboring schools like: TICAF P/S, Osiru Community School and ‘No Rest’ P/S.(yes really, that is the name of the school) The PLE will be commencing country wide on Monday 4th-5th/ November.
Our Directors, said a slogan “that instead of drinking water from the well of education here, others have been deciding to go away”. However, they said anyway some times, you can take a horse to drink water but still refuses thus it will be upon the horse in future.
The Guest of Honor Dr.Omalla David began by appreciating God for his life and family, Kimbilio Directors, guardians,all the staff in their various capacities without forgetting the real candidates of the day ( P7 Candidates) for the seven years of struggle.
This workshop has to take place in the school Computer Lab and the School is required to select a maximum 100 students to benefit from this free ICT program. On the day of official launch in eastern Uganda, 20 students from each of the participating School,will represent the School in the innovation competition among schools at Busitema University in October 2019.
This program kicked off today country wide and focusing on children under the age of fifteen years, who must receive the doses of measles Rubella and those under five years, must receive oral polio vaccine.
Uncle Jacob, as they were inspecting and assessing the work on ground, they expect concrete roof casting to be done by December and early next year when children come back, will just enter their new home.
On arrival day, our Director; Cor Koelewijn and the site Engineer Obura Besweri are communicating our expectation from them. These internees have been divided into groups, some are on making furniture and others building of the wall fence.This term, we have been assigned a team of eighteen trainees, three are carpenters and the rest builders.

While prayer and sharing of the word of God was conducted by Dr David Omalla, who preached in the Book of Luke 11:5. In his message, he told members that hard work pays and education is very important. He compounded his words with his personal testimony of his struggles to get to where he is today as PhD. degree holder from extreme humble beginnings of his village primary school in Chawolo.
