Am feeling really lazy and tired. Our friends , the Collors who are over here for The Consecration and The Enthronement are both suffering from an upset tummy so I hope I am not coming down with anything... think I'm just a bit exhausted with all the speechmaking.......
Went to church at St. Matthews Cathedral here in Masindi today and tried to blend in with the crowd - to no avail - being one of the 3 white faces amongst a sea of Ugandans! Rev Frances Kajura spotted me and called me up to the front, thrust the mic at me and asked me to introduce The Collors who do wonderful work raising money for the Diocese of Masindi -Kitara. Roger is an architect so I have called a meeting on Wednesday with him and Michael Kaheru, an Old Boy of Kabalega Junior, Something has to be done about the mission built core building of the school which is continuing to fall into disrepair. If rebuilt it would give at least 2 classrooms and l ibrary upstairs and store rooms which are so badly needed.......
Baz went off swimming at Kinyara Sugar Works but I rested until Teacher Joseph stopped by as I'd requested. After Church he'd told me that his 3 cows were stolen over Friday night and he was planning to sell one in order to pay for next term's school fees at Uni where he is studying Sports Science ,part time. What do you do but help out.......?
Then Room Attendant Godfrey showed me his brother Alfred's End of Term Report and Alfred has come 11th out of 57 ...not bad for a boy who only came down from a village in the North last February! Godfrey also supports 2 sisters at a Boarding school all on a very low salary so I am helping out with money for busfare home, uniform etc.etc.
