Happy Birthday Backup! This month we celebrate ou Happy Birthday Backup! This month we celebrate our 6th year of operation in Uganda and we are humbled by what we have accomplished so far in this short time. We have trained 263 in-service teachers, 450 student teachers, 32 teacher educators (tutors), 1091 professionals from other organizations & sensitized over 7,450 parents and other community members. Through them, we have impacted close to 45,000 children in total! Recently, we launched new ideas like the Every Child Can Learn podcast, the ODII blended training package, MOYA products, and Backup on Tour. All these milestones wouldn’t have been possible without you, our 'big family'. We look forward to continue working together with you to impact more lives through inclusive education, so that children with learning difficulties & disabilities can reach their full potential. #BackupAt6Years #BackupUganda #HappyBirthday #EveryChildCanLearn #EveryChildIsImportant #YouMatter #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs #dyscalculie #IederKindKanLeren #WijZijnJarig
A child who has dyscalculia struggles with subject A child who has dyscalculia struggles with subjects like mathematics, as they may work 10 times harder to get it right or understand a concept, and sometimes may still perform poorly. This frustrates the child, teacher, and parent. However, parents and teachers can build their confidence. For example, by letting this child know that their value does not depend on the marks they score in math. Teach them that they are important no matter what, emphasize their talents, and help them grow in those areas too!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #BackupUganda #Dyscalculia #EveryChildCanLearn #EveryChildIsImportant #YouMatter #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs #dyscalculie #ElkKindIsBelangrijk #JijTeltMee
“How can I help my child who is always forgettin “How can I help my child who is always forgetting the things I tell her to do?”​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ~ Anonymous vendor at Gulu City Main Market​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This is one of the many questions that were asked during our weekly community sensitization about learning difficulties and disabilities in children, at Gulu City Main Market. Last week, we crowned it up with an endline evaluation to get feedback from the vendors who have listened to our Every Child Can Learn podcast episodes from there. It has been a great learning experience for us as an organization ever since we started this in February this year. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This may just be the beginning of more market outreaches using the episodes of the Every Child Can Learn podcast within and beyond Gulu City in the future. Stay logged in to find out which market we will be heading to next!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #BackupUganda #EveryChildCanLearn #Podcast #CommunityPodcast #PodcastOutreach #HowCanIHelpMyChild #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #afrika #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs
