Profits from Book go towards KSK

I have recently published a Memoir, called "I Believe - I Think...". I do not expect it to be a best seller with many thousands of copies flying off the shelves! (I wish...) But at least 50% of any profit that does come to me will go to Kasese Street Kids funds.

The book is self-published by www.lulu.com which means that I pay them to print and send me copies; so far I have placed two orders for 60 copies each, and a further consignment of 30 copies. (The more copies I order at a time the cheaper per copy it is.)

Kind friends in various churches where I have served have taken orders from parishioners; and a number of small bookshops in towns around south Cumbria have agreed to stock a few copies. Two such shops have already sold out and asked for more!
You can get one off www.Amazon.co.uk  (including a Kindle version) - or from Lulu, including an ebook for a Nook reader.
Or you can ask me for one and - when I have received your money - I will send it to you.

Read "I Believe - I Think..."   "Very readable... Lots of humour... Honest... Inspiring..."

Tools and Electricity

Sorry - it is two months since my last post!
In an earlier post  (25th January) I wrote about all the marvellous supply of tools that were on their way to Kampala, supplied by TWAM (Tools With A Mission) -www.twam.co.uk. But I had not realised till recently that there is still no electricity at the SKILL Hostel, apart from three small solar panels. The local authority promised an electricity supply to the site months ago, but this has never happened.
So things like circular saws and electric drills and lathes will not be much use! The hand tools will of course be valuable.
But we have just heard that a joinery firm in Kilembe Quarters in the Kasese Industrial Area on the other side of Kasese, Thuthu Carpentry and Joinery, have agreed to accommodate these tools, and offer a one-year training course for the boys from SKILL.

 

Here are two members of the SKILL Board, Rev. Nelson Isebagheen and Mr Emmanuel Maate, with Enos Kibibi, and the director of Thuthu, Mr Siriru (in the hat). They were confirming the arrangements for this scheme.

 

What is particularly good is that Thuthu will not charge SKILL any rent for the room they will use.

The hand tools will remain at the SKILL Centre where the youngsters will learn the basics of carpentry, before they progress to learning to use the power tools.
