the implementation of a wide range of humanitarian activities in countries such
as Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa and Liberia. In particular, ADC has
implemented development and relief programs in the areas of HIV/AIDS,
education, youth development and food security. Our current programming in
Uganda focuses upon book distribution, library construction and teacher
training in rural areas. The program aims to facilitate pupil’s transition from
learning in local languages to learning in English. We do this, firstly and

    interviews and focus groups with target beneficiaries. These field visits
