We’re back!!!!
After a 4 month break in England we have returned to Kisoro. And we have come laden with many gifts from our church and friends for those here – for students at the Vocational Training Centre and staff and babies at Potter’s Village Crisis Centre for babies.
Having unpacked our first job was to try and clear out the squatters! We knew we had a mouse in the house as we had glimpses of him (or her) before Christmas. This time we are fully armed with a ‘humane’ mouse trap from our son and daughter in law. In England we understand that chocolate is a good bait – nothing so wimpish for an African mouse. Having failed with that we tried Scottish Porridge Oats and bingo!!!! An immediate success. And now our unwelcome guest has been relocated to the field about 400 yards behind our house.
We hope he is not a homing mouse.
We also hope that he was a male mouse and not a lady mouse – or we may find a further 20 or so remaining!!!!
There have been several changes during our absence.
At Potters Village one is a new goat shed complete with goats. These will provide milk which can be fed to babies as a healthier alternative to formula milk.
