  1. @ Mrs. Yollis,

    I am very excited to be at the presentation. Will any other people be there? I am very happy that we started the Ugandan Global Project because we have had so many experiences such as, the three mile walk, as well as watching a video of everyone else walk.

    Sincerely,
    Iman

  8. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    This is Marty (Adia's dad). Our family is definitely going to be at the presentation.

    I wish you the best of luck. It is great that you started the Ugandan Global Project.

    When I was little, it was my dream to have a chance to communicate with practically the world.

    Now that Adia is in your class, I can finally get to communicate with the world.

    I love being involved and hope to visit this blog again soon.

  9. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I loved being able to go on the special room. It was very cool. My mom had a blast watching it.
    You did a great job doing the presentation. I love blogging and I know that my mom does too. I'm happy to help the Uganda students
    try to help get a place for them to play on. I also can not belive
    that we raised over 20.000 dollers.
    I have a question for you:
    Have you ever done a presentation in a visual room?


    Warmly,
    Alexa (mrs. Yollis' student)
