No matter where you are on December 1st, UCE
welcomes you to join in prayer for the 39.5 million
people who are suffering from HIV/AIDS worldwide and
for the untold numbers of orphans who will be left
in the wake of this global epidemic.
Uganda,
AFRICA, has had the most remarkable reduction in
HIV/AIDS
prevalence of anywhere in the world. Universal
Chastity Education is committed to helping Uganda
sustain
that success. Chastity is an inexpensive prevention
for the
worldwide
HIV/AIDS/STD pandemic and it does not separate an
individual from their faith, rather it empowers it
within
them. Hope is born. Health follows.

integrity and idealism, for as a leader of Universal

Reaching Ugandan Youth
|
|
Kenneth Rukundo is shown with other UCE team members
in front of the Uganda outreach staging map.
The UCE team inspires the youth
of rural Uganda to choose abstinence until a
faithful marriage as the means by which to prevent
HIV/AIDS/STDs. To date, 11,703 chastity pledges have
been made by the youth of primarily
southwestern Uganda. An outreach to the Jinja area
east of
Kampala is scheduled soon. This map of outreaches
in Uganda and the schedule of events to date can be
seen more clearly

UCE has had an industrious volunteer in Kampala, Uganda
since
September: Andrew, a recent graduate of Virginia
Military Institute (VMI), with major in International
Studies and minors in History and Leadership, is
serving as International
Operations Coordinator. He'll be in Uganda until
March 2007 and will also travel to Burundi to assist
Bishop Nyaboho's initiation of UCE programs there.
Andrew has started blogging to keep everyone
up to date on UCE and to give us all an insight into
his experiences in Africa.
