First visit this year!!

Its now 2.00am on Friday 30 March. Bex & I fly from Manchester to Amsterdam and then on to Entebbe at 6.00am and I cant sleep so am up doing a few jobs and checking in on my blog!!

Anyway, we would very much value your prayers for the next few weeks as the Thomas family will be in Uganda from 30 march - 20 April taking a small group of other interested people to work at the schools and following up on some of our projects.

At Nansana Royal Primary School we will be -
1) Developing a plan with the school & Wateraid engineers for an improved water supply
2) Recently our cow which had calved on Christmas Eve and was producing milk for the school has died (she swallowed a plastic bag). We need to resolve the issue of care for the calf & replacing the cow.
3) Our nurse has now moved on to some further training and so we will probably be interviewing and appointing a new nurse.

At Rock of Joy School with Pastor Steven we will be
1) Reviewing all the projects that we have funded including three new classrooms, computers, desks, books etc
2) Working with an architect to plan the conversion of a recently purchased building into another boarding house
4) Finalising the plans for the conversion of a garage into their new health room
5) Developing a job description for a nurse at Rock of Joy
6) Setting the ball rolling for the purchase of their minibus
7) Setting goals and planning for the future with Pastor Steven & the teachers

All of these plans are both exciting and daunting as there is a lot to do in a short time. Please pray that we will have the energy and wisdom to encourage and develop the right way forward for some of these things. Pray also for Ann, Keith & Tim who are coming to Uganda for the first time, that they will be both blessed and be a blessing to the people who they meet.
