Comings and Goings

 People have come, and people have gone this week.

Ruth came to the end of her one month spell at Potters Village Crisis Centre for Children. This was the second year she has volunteered to work there and has done a brilliant job helping in the office. Not wanting to let her go without some sort of celebration we all went for a farewell drink at the Travellers Rest Hotel. The party included Brian and Sheila. They are regular visitors to Uganda, not only helping at Potters Village but Brian has also been out to various schools and the Health Centre to do some decorating.

Another visitor was Emily who came for a couple of nights. She is a volunteer with the Church Mission Society (CMS) working for 6 months at the Kigali Theological College in Rwanda. She had a week in Uganda touring friends and going on Safari at the Queen Elizabeth Park.

Another arrival was a new kid at Potters Village. Goats are being kept because their milk is more digestible to young babies than cow’s milk. And one of the goats gave birth.

Locals are very inventive in making things to help them get around. We spotted in the market one of the home made wheel-barrows that someone had made to move goods from place to place. Perhaps the design will catch on and you will be able to buy one at B&Q? Wheel-barrows are not something that are easy to buy here.

And finally, Malcolm models the gift he received from the Pastor’s wives last week. Very man about town!!!!
