Abayudaya

Join us in Honoring Two Abayudaya Leaders!

We invite you to join Kulanu in honoring Aaron Kintu Moses and Naume Sabano, an inspiring couple who have directed some of the most successful institutions of the Abayudaya Jewish community of Uganda. A brave leader who was instrumental in saving Judaism from Idi Amin's repression of the 1970s, Aaron has been headmaster of the Abayudaya Elementary School since 2001. Naume, founder and president of the Abayudaya Women's Association for a decade, is manager of the nutrition program at the Abayudaya high school, an essential service that has alleviated hunger and has made a great impact on student learning.

Kulanu is creating a virtual on-line journal to honor this remarkable couple. The journal will look like a booklet you would receive at a dinner you attended in person, but in this case, you will see the pages on-line. The journal will display your sentiments and those of others, along with wonderful pictures of Naume and Aaron and the community to which they have given so much. By donating to express your good wishes, you will be helping the local Abayudaya elementary and high schools that are so dear to them.

Thank you for your support!
