We have already been able to send (electronically) ten thousand pounds for the Bishop's School in Uganda. We are able to verify that the money has arrived at Barclay's Bank in Kampala. I have spoken by phone to Bishop Edward Muhima to notify him that the money has been sent. He lives seven hours drive away from the bank and so his visits there can only be occasional. This money is tied to providing much needed equipment for the school.

We are now ready to send twenty thousand pounds to the same bank in Kampala. This money will enable the dormitory of the school to be built. Our Church Warden in Ramsey, Jo Latter, has volunteered to travel to Uganda after 12th February at his own expense, Jo is a retired Solicitor. He will visit the Bishop, the school and get an update about how work on the school is progressing. Then in August a party of six, incuding me, will again visit the school and get another update. We are expecting building materials to be brought from Kenya and Kampala. I understand that as long as the money is there materials should not be too long getting to the site.

The new target is fifty thousand pounds, an amount which can provide significant help to the school and the pupils. Sponsor forms are now printed and it will be possible to Gift Aid any gifts. As several people are now walking with me to Norwich it is hoped that a generous sum will be collected.
