Special Children's Trust

WOW!!! We have no words to express the joy and gratitude we felt yesterday to hold the Dawn Children's Centre Sports Day on our very own land for the very first time.

Children were excited, parents were excited and the team was excited. Racing, running, rolling, building, sponge squeezing, balancing, playing and so much more took place yesterday as children with and without special needs engaged and flourished together in a fun filled day of sports, dancing and music.

At Dawn, we're taught we can achieve, if we reset our mind,
When we work hard, truly believe, and leave no one behind.
With each sunrise, Dawn begins, we start each day anew,
We flourish together, hand in hand, a loving, vibrant crew.

Inclusion Begins With Me
No Child Left Behind

A huge thank you goes out this Monday morning to the Christian Fellowship School in England, for the donation of 2 drums to our music department at Dawn Children's Centre. The children are overjoyed and cant wait to start using them to create beautiful music. We are now able to add more drummers to our school band and give more children a chance and opportunity to learn how to play.

Due to ebola prevention guidelines, we are sad to announce that our 11th Annual Awareness and Fun Day for children with Disabilities has been postponed until further notice.

To all fathers of children with disabilities...we see you...we see how you show up every day...we see you willing to learn what it takes to help your child thrive...keep going hero...

And to all the fathers who step up for children who are not biologically yours, we see you.
To all the male teachers, therapists and medical staff who show up to make children feel loved and safe in the midst of life chaos and challenges, we see you!

Happy fathers day to our heros.

Who is a hero? someone who is admired for their courage, selflessness, and noble qualities, and who is willing to take risks or make sacrifices in order to help others or achieve a noble goal.

Today we celebrate our heroes, our Mama's and Papa's of children with disabilities, our siblings of children with disabilities, our teachers, therapists and others...and not forgetting the children themselves, whose resilience, determination and courage keep them fighting another day to learn and grow.

We celebrate you all.

As we celebrate Martyr's Day 2026, let us always remember to hold fast the faith and to remain strong in our convictions and beliefs. Happy Marty's Day Uganda.
