Fat Cat Festival


This is a month old already but time in June just seemed to escape me!

Marissa is a student at a local Middle School (grades 7-9) who is a friend of another teacher who is coming to Kampala. Marissa is a a very globally aware young lady and decided to make NITEO her project to raise awareness about the organization as well as to try to raise funds.

Kelowna has a Fat Cat Festival at the beginning of June which is a festival for children. Marissa decided to get a tent for the festival and then to have children paint tiles for a mural at the Eva Ruf Resource Center as well as create postcards for the children there from the children here. It was a huge success!

Well done Marissa! It was amazing!

And thank you to those who donated supplies for this to come together. It couldn't happen without your generosity!
