WET, WET, WET!

The rains have come to Ibanda...although we do still have hot days, they are punctuated with cool winds and heavy rains! Some of the thunderstorms have been seriously dramatic and the locals look at us very strangely as we stare out the window and take pictures! The roads quickly turn into small rivers and walking in sandals is problematic! However, at least it means that the crops are growing and a harvest will come for the people.

Lauben Kashemeza

I am called Lauben Kashemeza, I am a 17 year old student at Nyakatukura Memorial Secondary School. In my family there are 3 boys and our father, who is a soldier while our mother is a farmer. My father serves in the Rwandan Army and we children and our mother live in Uganda.

When I joined secondary school, I started to really like music. During my free time I found that songs were always entering my head and I love to compose my own music. I like singing and I want to be a musician in the future. I like singing country music at our house. I have composed 1 ½ albums of songs and I would really like to publish my music. To make an album of 6 songs it costs 1.2 million shillings (approx. £400).

I therefore humbly request that you kindly consider sponsoring me in my music. I will be happy to hear from you.

May the Almighty God bless you.

Thank you.

Bishop visits NMS!

The Bishop of Ankole Diocese came to NMS last Thursday to see the recent developments, namely the completion of the girls dormitory and the school farm. He was suitably impressed and praised God, thanking Him for the friendship NMS has formed with DCS. It is true to say that without the support and help from DCS many of the activities at NMS would not have taken place - so thank you DCS!
