November Update

Many months have passed since my last ramblings. I spent 6 weeks back in the summer out in Uganda, and did quite a lot of painting and organising builders etc.
Now the Bandas and Rooms are looking good, and ready to welcome volunteers and tourists alike.
We have welcomed Nina who was there for a month, working with the children in the nearby schools plus our own Nursery School, and Richard who is there for two months.
Sharon, who is a young Ugandan lady and sister to our MD Denis has come down from Kampala and is acting manager; we are hoping to persuade her to stay long term and welcome all new guests.
Here in the UK, together with Ida Horner of Ethnic Supplies Ltd, I organised an Auction and Dinner/Dance at the Hilton Hotel in Cobham and we raised the grand sum of £1,500. This will go towards completing the workshop/craft centre we began to build last year.
Our next fund-raising event is a Race Evening - to be held on 10th January at Laleham (Surrey) Village Hall Tickets are now on sale.
