Building Tomorrow: Destination Kampala

Prior to George Srour’s visit—and Key Club’s help—the “Learning Centre” in Meeting Point, Kampala, was hardly a place conducive to education.

But now, the children are all smiles at the dedication of their new three-story school.

Building Tomorrow: Destination Kampala is the 2006 Key Club Week project. Key Club members are encouraged to celebrate African culture and raise money to further Kampala children’s education by raising US$1 per desk in their schools. The monies will be used to buy supplies for the school the Key Clubbers already helped build.

Key Club International initially helped Building Tomorrow founder George Srour build a school in Kampala.

George’s story, which he related at the 2006 Key Club International Convention, is fascinating. He decided to raise money to build the school in Kampala while on a trip there. He returned to college and then implemented his idea, calling the project Christmas in Kampala. Read more here.
