Dear Friends,
We have recently been published in TIME Magazine, USA Today, Christian Science Monitor, and National Public Radio (NPR). News about the work we do, the children, grandmothers, and communities we serve, and how successful our holistic community development model is in Uganda is rapidly spreading across the world. We would like to share all of this exciting news with you. Below are links to our major publishings.
Jackson Kaguri has been travelling all across the United States and the UK with Penguin/Viking Publishers promoting The Price of Stones. At each stop in the book tour Jackson will spend the evening speaking to compassionate folks whose paths have all led them to that place. As Jackson tells the story of his childhood and adolescence, anecdotes about his village, and about the inception of the Nyaka School- the first school in South Western Uganda for orphaned children specifically targeted for their inability to afford an education- many people are moved to tears. Two or three individuals may feel compelled to share their own journey which has led them to serving underserved communities in Africa, South America, and Asia. Others have shared their inexplicable joy at finally finding the community development model that works and that calls to their hearts- The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project. This is a testimony given by an individual after reading The Price of Stones:
“I just finished reading your book, "The Price of Stones," and I loved it. I was crying through almost every chapter and parts of it gave me chills. Your story and the stories of the orphans at Nyaka are so inspiring and I hope that many more schools similar to yours will be built. I am traveling to Uganda this year to live … for ten months while working as an intern for Soccer Without Borders. I will be coaching soccer there and working in Hope primary school. Although I was excited prior to reading your book, I am even more elated to be living in Uganda for an extended period of time now. … Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.”
If you haven't gotten your copy of The Price of Stones yet, please know that if you donate $100 or more to any of our projects through Global Giving we will send you a FREE copy of The Price of Stones Signed by Twesigye Jackson Kaguri.
Attached below are the Action Points that appear at the end of The Price of Stones. We encourage you to look through them and ask your local bookstore if they will host Jackson Kaguri for an Author Book Signing and Talk and if they will carry The Price of Stones.
Thank you so much for joining us on this journey!
