Django Template not displaying model data

I've looked through different tutorials and Stack Overflow questions and I'm not sure why I'm still running into this issue:

I am running into an issue with displaying my model data onto my template, I can see that the python code is executing, but no matter what I've tried I can't get my data to come through, my relevant code snippets are below:

models.py

class GoogleData(models.Model):
    placeID = models.CharField(max_length=999)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    phoneNumber =  models.CharField(max_length=800)
    busAddress = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
    openinghours = models.CharField(max_length=9999)

Views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, render, get_object_or_404
from django.template import Context, loader
from hoursofDEV.models import GoogleData

def home(request):
    entries = GoogleData.objects.all()[:5]
    return render_to_response('index.html', {'entries': entries,})

index.html

 {% if entries %}
<ul>
{% for GoogleData in entries %}
    <li><a href="/GoogleData/{{ GoogleData.name }}/">{{ GoogleData.name }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
    <p>Where's the Data?.</p>
{% endif %}

With the code that I've displayed, I constantly see my else "Where's the Data?.", I have hundreds of rows in GoogleData but I can't get any of them to show on the html page

Any guidance or pointing out of my newbie mistakes will be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

you didn't add the RequestContext, your return statement should look like >>

return render_to_response('index.html', {'entries': entries}, RequestContext(request))

and don't forget to import the RequestContext >> from django.template import RequestContext
