Greeting from Dar and Kampala

Dear All

It has been a very busy and trying time as Paul has been trying to complete the year end accounts as well as deal with many day to day issues. We have had our Audit report back which has given us a number of recommendations so we will have a meeting this week to decide on how we should go about these. Some we have already started to put into place already as we knew they needed sorting out but we know there are a number of weaknesses in the system here that need addressing.

Currently Edith has travelled with Suzan (her sister) to Uganda for a graduation for Suzan. It was about a 40 hour trip by bus for them. They plan to be back in Dar a week on Monday. In the mean time Paul is in Dar with the children.

The year end accounts should have been in some time back, a draft has gone in but due to a number of reasons mainly day to day events, Paul has not yet finished though needs to very soon because of combining them with the other programmes.

Please pray for us all at the difficult and busy time. John-Luke has a high fever and today we found out that he has chicken pox so will be off school for a number of days. Gabriella has escaped it so far but we would not be surprised if she has it in the next day or so. Please pray for safe travels for Edith and Suzan when they return next week. Please pray for Paul as he works and looks after the children which now with John-Luke home will not be so straight forward.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God Bless and love from us all.
