Today is Drop Everything and Read Day📚
From tomorrow, the Angaza Resource Centre hosts guest readers for children all week
Our first guest reader is Phidra Atukunda. Her first answer about reading had us 😂
Parents/guardians, take 5 minutes today to read with your child. Yes?
Books, laughter and life lessons that’s what our children get at the Angaza Resource Centre. But hey, not every child can sneak into these sessions every week.
So, we’re bringing the library to them! And the #4040Prom? That’s our ticket to make it happen. Get your ticket now.💃🏼
My tweet of the year. Ah, I heard you call ‘em posts now? Whatever
#4040Connect is on 9th Aug
📍Angaza Resource Centre. @fionakemi_ is giving us the tea ☕ on her journey from “Objection, Your Honour” to “Content is queen”
You’ll be inspired. Sign up👇

At @40days_40smiles, we believe the magic lies in collaboration & with @Kasyfa_Kisa in the mix, the comms volunteers get vibes!💡🔥
She keeps the energy high, the creativity flowing, & insists she’s not the boss. In '17' years she’s got a new headshot from @AgandyStudios 😁
📷
The #4040connect is back!
This time, we are having an honest conversation about change, growth & giving yourself permission to take a different path.
Fiona will be sharing her journey from law to digital storytelling one that reminds us it’s okay to start over.

Fam, the 4040 PROM is here! Now, it’s just you, your date, and the pressure to actually dance this time.
An excuse to look good, feel good, and do some good.
All proceeds go to a mobile library that’ll change lives.
All you need to do is show up💃🏼

@YALIRLCAlumniUg What do the contestants have planned to reach out to Alumni who are not “groupies?”. We have a group that is busy & sometimes, we can’t scroll thru 2220 messages. How will they ensure we receive important info but also use comms to increase alumni participation in activities?
4040 is 13! 💃
We kicked things off around this time in 2012 and what a journey it’s been🥹
Over the next few days, we’re celebrating the wins, the lessons & the memories.
Got a 4040 story? We’d love to hear it.

The count down is on!🚀
1+1 isn’t just 2! It’s a bundle of impact. That 5K, 10K.? is gold…
Little by little together, we can make the mobile Library dream a reality, giving kids access to books and knowledge. 📚
For every $50 we raise, @GlobalGiving adds $25!
Little by Little, We create impact!🌟
We are calling on 20 people today to give just UGX 5,000 each. Together, we will be able to set up a mobile library to reach children who can’t physically come to Angaza Resource Centre and equip them with the tools they need to thrive.
The Angaza Outreach Program is back in session at Quentin & Merowa Junior Schools
This term, we are focused on building hands-on skills while nurturing others like communication, teamwork, & problem solving. We hope to prep learners for the competence based secondary curriculum
Taking a 30 secs break from #DropEverythingandRead to tell you that for every 💰50 you donate to 4040 from 25th -28th March, @GlobalGiving will match it & give an extra 💰25
Proceeds will be used to set up a mobile library to reach children who can’t physically come to the ARC
Day 2: 📚Drop Everything & Read (D.E.A.R.) Week at the ARC🤓
🙋♀️Meet Daphne Ampire Karema (@BeautifulMukiga), our first guest reader of today

I joined @40days_40smiles in 2019. I had just discovered a new interest in the communications.
@NotPearlHmmph did a great job mentoring me (Thank you, Pearl)
I got my first job (in life) as a Communications Officer, 8 months later.
I also lead the Comms team at 4040.
