 Bwindi Community Program

Jan and Jim Tanis, while traveling in Uganda in 2007, met a very charismatic young man.  He lived in a small village called Buhoma near the gate to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.  They developed a friendship with him over the internet (Yahoo reaches amazing places) and supported his education for a couple of years.

He had a dream of being able to pass along that kind of support to the vulnerable children of his village.  He and a friend started a community based organization for which Jan and Jim are now raising funds in the US.  Education is the major building block in stemming poverty in these remote places.  Please visit their website to learn how Jan & Jim plan to assist these children.  The first group of twenty students started school on January 25, 2010.
