Back in Care

 Those of you having sleepless nights worrying how Malcolm is coping alone, you need worry no more. Eve has come to his rescue.

Malcolm has moved up to Jenny’s house, now that she has gone to England, and is being waited on, hand and foot, by her friend Eve.

No more washing up………………



No more burnt food……………….



The only problem is that the house is up a very steep hill which Malcolm has to climb twice a day, so he has no energy left to wash up or cook if he wanted to. Half way up, though, he sometimes meets a group of children who are keen to have their photo taken, which gives him a good excuse to stop and rest.



In addition he has received an emergency food parcel from David and Sarah in England. He has a sneaky feeling that it is meant to be shared with Irene …… but she will never know????



But, he has been working as well.

In Irene’s absence the VTC computer ‘suite’ has been moved to another room. Though smaller, it means they no longer have to share with the University library.




On Friday was the first meeting of the Committee responsible for the Water and Sanitation project funded through Tear Fund. Many houses in the Diocese do not have easy access to clean water, with people often walking long distances to fill up jerry cans at water company taps (if they are lucky), wells or streams and as a result there is a high incidence in many remote areas to water borne diseases. The purpose of the project is to provide communities with access to clean water though harvesting rain water or developing gravity feed water sources.


This weeks proverb from BBC Africa's web site is from Uganda:

“Do not tell the man who is carrying you that he stinks”
