In my last report I was looking back at my February visit; now I’m keenly looking towards my next visit which is only a few weeks away!
The main thing to change since February is that we now have a new principal, Josie Abong. I have known Josie since I first went to Siriba in 2008. Since then she has studied hard at Gulu University and has obtained a Diploma in Secretarial Studies and Information Management. We all wish her well .
Bishop George Kasangaki and I have been in touch constantly since I left and he has given much help and encouragement, not only to the VTC, Govenors and staff but also to me! His keen eye and attention to detail is good news for all of us.
We now know that our refurbished tools have arrived in the 'Tools with a Mission' warehouse in Kampala. It has taken four months to reach here from Norfolk in England. Due some clever logistics by Robert the warehouse manager, and Geoffrey of Uganda Development Services, they are going to fit all of them into Geoffrey’s minibus. I am travelling with the tools and have been told that my seat might yet have to be on the roof… and we are still in the rainy season! Maybe they are joking.
The final amount raised by St Leonard’s Church, Woolaton, in their Lent appeal was £2122. We are truly grateful to the congregation for this fine effort. This will go a long way in helping the most underprivileged of youngsters.
I have now launched a personal appeal of my own under David’s guidance and I am hoping for a good response from family, friends and business colleagues. You can read it too, here: http://hatw.org.uk/2014/09/17/hugo-masons-special-appeal-for-siriba-vtc-uganda/
