Helen grew up in northern Indiana but has lived in Washington State the past forty years.  She is a retired pre school and elementary classroom teacher.  In her recent travels to Uganda she visited primary schools and witnessed teachers working with 97 students in third grade and 150 students in a fifth grade classroom!  They had limited supplies and few books.  When Helen discovered Kamukamu she was excited to find a place where she could directly support the teachers and students of Uganda. She believes that ALL children deserve quality education and ALL teachers deserve quality working conditions. Helen lives in Olympia with her husband Hank.  Their two grown daughters live on the East Coast.
