Neighbours. Everybody needs good neighbours

We had a lovely surprise on Saturday when we went to Potter’s Village Home for Vulnerable Children. The senior staff gathered for coffee and cake to welcome us back.

Irene met for the first time our new next door neighbour. Habert and Immaculate had their first child born on 1st June. Her name is Joy.

As we are staying in Jenny Green’s house whilst she is on leave in England we have new neighbours. Jenny is breeding pigs which seem to think that whenever we go near they are going to get fed.

Jenny’s house is on a hill overlooking Kisoro.

Nearby are some typical family homes. Simple dwellings, usually without mains electricity but sometime benefiting from mains water.

This week's proverb from the BBC Africa web site is from Sierra Leone:

“Friendship is like a book - it takes years to write and minutes to burn”
