Hey Santa Barbara Friends, We have an interesting speaker coming from Washington DC to talk about the following. I'd love to see some friendly faces at the event. This world we live in is complicated. Sometimes you just need to step back, learn from someone who has studied it, and move forward in a positive direction. If this sounds like you, please join us!

Free Event!

The Effect of War on Children and Education
May 17
4:00 PM-5:30
Elings Park, Godric Grove

Discussion led by Brian K Barber, PhD author of
No Way But Forward: Life Stories of Three Families in the Gaza Strip
Adolescents and War: How Youth Deal With Political Conflict
(Books available for purchase)

Join us for a powerful and eye-opening talk
War doesn’t just destroy buildings. It can disrupt childhoods, silences dreams, and reshapes entire futures.
Across the world, millions of children are missing out on education—not by choice, but because conflict has made learning unsafe, inaccessible, or impossible.
Drinks and snacks will be provided!

Students and teachers from Obongi Town Primary School and Rotary Club members happily show off their brand new textbooks made possible by Turn the Page Uganda! Each school we reach has a chance to improve the educational experience and help lift students out of poverty. You can help us reach the next school on our waitlist by donating to TurnthePageUganda.org.

Oh happy day.....Springs Primary School in Arua receive their new textbooks! We wish them success in their learning and hope many are able to pass exams and move on to the next grade level. It does take a village to help students succeed. From their dedicated teachers, to the people at Aristoc Bookstore who package up the order selected by the teachers, to those of you reading this and donating money to help pay for those books, and to Rotarians who help get the books to the schools. Each part leads to a better, more prepared society. THANK YOU for your part in making this magic happen!

Imagine a classroom where children gather around, eager to dive into stories that have the ability to spark imaginations and inspire their futures. For many schools in Uganda, this vision is still out of reach due to a lack of resources. Turn the Page is dedicated to changing this.

Turning pages, and changing futures! With every dollar donated, new opportunities are created for children in Uganda to learn, dream, and grow. Help us at Turn the Page to plant the seeds of knowledge, one book at a time!

I woke up Sunday to a couple of messages from Uganda wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. I thought- that's strange- I didn't know it was Mother's Day. Well, it was INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! So nice to have people half a world away remember me! Turn the Page Uganda is working on another 15 schools spread across the north of Uganda from Arua, to Lira, and Soroti. New books for desperate kids. Such an exciting opportunity to change lives! Donate any amount to help us continue this support.

When you think of spring, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Blooming flowers? Fresh air? Well, we at Turn the Page Uganda ask you to expand your ideals of spring to include giving to those in need. Aid in our mission of spreading education across borders and take the opportunity to extend a helping hand to children in Uganda!

Access to books is access to opportunities for these children. Use this upcoming spring season to help children in Uganda blossom! With your support, these kids can receive the education they deserve in order to facilitate a brighter future ahead of them. Help us turn these books into new opportunities for children in Uganda with a donation today! Visit turnthepageuganda.org for more information on how you can get involved.

Many of these books began hundreds of miles away, awaiting the day someone would get to use them. Thanks to the efforts of Turn the Page Uganda, today, they are opening doors for so many children. Donate to make a difference at Turnthepageuganda.org

From a pastor friend in Uganda:

Thanks mum Victoria

Yes. It’s not easy to fundraise, it real takes God, especially when you explain to the people that in Africa, there people who go without food for some days, no access to go to school. No clean water, they end up saying, can’t the government help?
Hahaha, which government, of Uganda??
May God continue to raise people like you who are real understanding of what people are going through.
May God help my mother land, I’m so worried of the next generation.
Did you know that out of %100 students who start in elementary school only %40 accomplish education?
So sad.
Do you know that we have a percentage of 30% of Ugandan population are orphans under age of 5-18
Due to wars, road accidents and HIV AIDS
We have a number of 35%of our population are single mothers from the age of 16-45?
So sad indeed.
Only % 40 can access clean water in Uganda!!
May God continue to use you Mrs. Harbsions to reaching out with books.
Kind regards.
