Carol Storey has sent us some more black-and-white pictures she took when visiting Kasese this June. This is Joakim, now 11; she describes him as a fantastic gymnast!
In planning the Exhibition of Carol's photographs which will take place in Holy Trinity Parish Church, Kendal, from October 13th to November 12th, we had a meeting in the church yesterday - a "dry run", to test out the various display boards that were available to us, see that the photographs would fit, plan the lighting arrangements, and so on.
This was a very useful meeting, with Phill, our "Artistic Director", and Geoff, the electrician, as well as Gill, the churchwarden. Two months to go, but we are getting quite excited.
Responses to the invitations to the Guest Preview are trickling in - two more "Yes" answers today.
But now that we have had some updated pictures from Carol, we may need to amend our planned list of photographs to be on display!
We are calling the Exhibition CHILDREN OF HOPE.
We don't want to convey a grim picture of despair and misery. Yes, the lives of these kids are wretched in many ways, but (a) they are lively characters with courage, who care for each other; and (b) we are offering them hope of a better life once our Hostel is finished, and they can move in.
