Since the deaths of Vance Kabanda,his wife Harriet and the childrens brother, Ellie, in 2005, Paddy (12) has been a boarder at Nansana Royal Primary School, which was founded by his father, where he has been provided with free schooling. His younger sister Sandra (aged 7) was removed by a relative to an orphanage. I have been working with Topi our adminstrator to bring Sandra back from the orphanage so that the children can be reunited and for her and husband Alex to bring them up with their own4. This is a complicated business and has involved several meetings with distant family members, lawyers, pastors and managers at the orphanage. One lawyer suggested that I might adopt the children and bring them here! I would love to do so :) but pointed out that i believe it to be in the best interest of the children to brought up in uganda by people who care for them and that i am prepared to do whatever it needs to make that possilble. It was all quite emotional as I am sure you will realise !!!! Please pray that these children who have during the last two years suffered multiple losses, including being separated from each other may soon been reunited with loving family friends who want to care for them.
