Beds have arrived at the Hostel

Twenty double bunks have been delivered to the SKILL Hostel in Kasese.

 Here is the truck used for the delivery, with a pile of mattresses.

 

 Here you can see that the beds have been erected in one of the dormitories, and a mosquito net has been fitted to one of them. Even though the windows have all been fitted with metal mosquito screens, it is still important, as a malaria protection measure, to have treated nets over the beds. (Malaria is a major killer in Uganda, as it is in many African countries; quite a number of the street children have been orphaned when their parents died of Malaria.)

A talk to WI

Last night Mary and I gave a presentation to the ladies of the Women's Institute - WI - in Warcop, a village some 15 miles away from our home. I was able to include a picture of the beds, which had arrived attached to an email from Enos only that afternoon - hot off the press! The ladies were very interested in the whole project, and were full of questions. One had been brought up in Uganda, and another had been a missionary in Papua New Guinea. They gave us a generous donation towards the work.
