The senior staff of Potter's Village got together to say thank you to Andrew and Laura for the work they did during their holiday (honeymoon!) from the UK. In addition to trekking golden monkeys and climbing the extinct volcano, Muhabura, they painted the new medial centre.
We also took them out last Sunday for drive through the mountains surrounding Kisoro and to Lake Bunyoni where we enjoyed lunch before returning down an almost impassable dirt road.
It was also a week to say thank you to Ezra who officially finished as administrator at Potter’s Village on Friday. He has worked there for many years but decided it is time to move on. To mark his last day the new administrator, Jackie, baked a banana cake (made to Malcolm’s recipe) which Rosie presented.
There was also a new arrival at the children’s crisis centre. Isaac’s mother had just died and his father is a ‘drunkard’ (an alcoholic?). He is 11 months old but only weighs 5.1 kg. His 2 siblings had previously died and his own life was clearly at risk.
This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from Ghana:
“A person's character is like pregnancy - it cannot be hidden”
Editor’s note. Malcolm may not realise it, but ‘Semahani’ means ‘trouble’. Most appropriate?
