These students are part of the Orphan Care Programme and they received some school materials kindly donated from the UK. This programme has grown from 30 students and now is financially supporting 55 students at NMS (out of 350 students). However, as you might imagine there is a continual struggle to meet the required school fees and often students are asked to go home and 'search' for the funds (disrupting lessons). Most students that attend NMS are from poor backgrounds and if you feel able to contribute to school fees for these young ones please do get in touch with us.

A family reunion in Uganda...we have recently enjoyed a small break with Andy's family, here pictured at Bujagali Falls - spectacular rapids on the river Nile. Incidentally Andy and I have also rafted down the rapids behind us in the photo - a thrilling experience!

We are now back at school for the final term and enjoying ourselves!

Baldrick! All good things must come to an end!

Recently we decided that since our beloved Baldrick was not producing the goods (eggs!), she should become the first victim to a Sunday roast...

Andy, it has to be said, did a very 'complete' job of killing, plucking, carving and cooking the bird. In the end, it seems Baldrick had not had much time to 'fatten up' and there really was not much meat to go round - however a valiant effort!

Word on the street got round shortly after this event and as a result we have gained 2 more chickens...perhaps we should do this more often!?

This has been the project of these holidays... it's the new girls dormitory at NMS! This is a much needed structure since currently the girls are sleeping in the examination hall, which will be required at the end of this month for the O level students.

Andy has enjoyed co-ordinating the builders and generally organising payments and arranging lorry loads of bricks and sand to be delivered! This has all been possible thanks to a generous donation from DCS - thank you!
