He'sOff - Again!

The rainy season has started in Uganda. A sensible person might think this would not be the best time to travel there. Not so for Malcolm. It’s also the open season for Auditors so he is off to Uganda for 7 weeks, to audit the annual accounts at Kisoro’s Potter’s Village Crisis Centre for Children, and then onto Kiwoko Hospital to help finalise their accounts for audit.

His family ensured he had a good send-off. A couple of weeks earlier all the family got together to celebrate the dedication of David and Sarah’s 2 sons, Samuel and Joseph.

Then, to make sure he got away well fed, David and Sarah invited him and Irene for a farewell meal.

When travelling to an airport you need to leave plenty of time in case of traffic delays. Malcolm went by National Express Coach and left enough time – just! Firstly there was congestion on the M1 – so the driver detoured through Buckinghamshire country roads. Then an accident on the M25 meant a detour though the London suburbs of Gerrards Cross and Denham. He arrived at Heathrow in time to drop off his bags, get through security and arrived at the Gate just as they began boarding. Not even time for a loo-stop.

Potter’s Village is very busy. In addition to providing accommodation and care to over 30 babies the medical centre has grown into a bustling unit providing care to premature babies and children from the local community up to 12 years old. However, the only involvement Malcolm will have is to go through the financial records for the past year.

 

Next week – onto Kiwoko Hospital
