Rjukan barneskole: Working hard for children in Uganda

Last week pupils of Rjukan barneskole (primary school) had a week of social entrepreneurship. They worked for children in Uganda: Rjukan barneskole jobba hardt i Uganda-uke
FK- participant Mark Kajubi's reflecting on this work:
Last week pupils at Rjukan elementary (primary) school Norway, were involved in raising money to help re-settle fellow Ugandan children who live on streets of the country’s towns and cities.

They have been able to achieve this by making waffles at school and selling them to Rimi- one of the big supermarkets in Rjukan town.
Fellow Ugandans, there is a price to pay for anything good in this world. Norwegian pupils in the above mentioned school are raising the money by providing a service and so, the recipient s of this money should not perceive it as surplus money that these pupils have got from their own pockets – or pockets of their parents . Therefore it must be used responsibly to serve its intended purpose.
