Our first priority at the beginning of each year is to increase the stock of books in the Humanist schools.
In February UHST allocated £2,800 to the accounts of the schools at Aristoc bookshop in Kampala. The two Isaac Newton Schools and Mustard Seed Secondary School were each allocated £800 and Kasese Humanist Primary School £400.
The photograph shows some of the new books chosen by Isaac Newton School, Masaka. The libraries at Issac Newton School, Mpigi and Mustard Seed School have been similarly augmented.
In a recent email Moses Kamya, the Director of Mustard Seed School, wrote: “Yesterday we selected and 
transported text books from Aristoc bookshop in Kampala. Students were delighted to receive them. This will allow them to support their lessons with reading with the expectation of better grades. One student named Nicholas Tamuzade of S3 commented in response to receiving the text books that, “I can now be 100% sure of making a first grade come next year with these new text books, congratulations master“. We are making all efforts to enable the children to love reading on their own to supplement teachers’ notes. Attached is a picture of the librarian, m/s Jamira working with students to place the books in the newly refurbished book shelves in the library.” Encouraging students to become independent learners is an important objective of the Humanist schools. Book rich learning empowers students to think for themselves and to show respect for evidence.
