The Kalangala Mission Retreat 2026 (21st March – 4th April) stands as a powerful testimony to the transformative impact that emerges when dedicated individuals unite with a shared purpose. In the island community of Mulabana, AAYP successfully combined evangelism, medical outreach, community skilling programs, tree planting for environmental stewardship, and the groundbreaking of a new dormitory and classroom block at SDA Victorious Nursery and Primary School.
At the heart of these achievements lies the collective effort, generosity, and commitment of AAYP members, church leaders, health professionals, donors, and well-wishers. Their support has not only made the mission possible but has brought tangible spiritual, educational, economic, and environmental transformation to the shores of Lake Victoria.

- Church Leadership and Partners, including Pr. Ogwal Immanuel (Adventist World Radio Africa President), for providing spiritual guidance and strategic partnership
- Health Professionals and Volunteers — who served tirelessly in the medical camp, bringing healing and compassion to hundreds

The Work Is Not Yet Finished
While we celebrate these significant achievements, we recognize that the mission is ongoing. The groundbreaking for the dormitory and classroom block at SDA Victorious Nursery and Primary School marked an exciting beginning, but much work remains to complete the infrastructure.
Continued support is needed to ensure:
- Construction progresses smoothly and without unnecessary delays
- The facilities are completed to a high standard

Why This Project Matters
This initiative is more than bricks and mortar. It represents a lasting investment in the future of children and the entire Mulabana community by:
- Providing safe and stable accommodation for pupils
- Reducing long, risky daily journeys to school
- Creating an environment that supports improved academic performance and overall well-being
- Strengthening access to quality education in an unreached island community
A Call for Continued Support
We therefore humbly call upon all AAYP members, partners, churches, and friends of the mission to sustain this important work. Let us not stop at the groundbreaking — let us see the full vision realized.
