Trip to England

Dear All

Paul has been busy in the office but has been very gratefully for the help of Fiona Stevenson who is currently the MAF Uganda Finance Manager. Fiona is down to look into the MAF Tanzania systems so she can help whilst Paul is away in the summer. Fiona will be here until the 4th April next week she will be in Dodoma. Paul was due to be going to Dodoma but that has been cancelled as we will all be travelling to the UK next week. It has been great that Fiona has been here as we have had a problem in the Dar office which is under investigation so she has been able to help with this as well as sort out a load of questions the Auditors had sent. We are also getting close to finishing January figures. Fiona has also been a help now that Paul will be traveling to the UK for Mum's funeral.

On Wednesday 28th we will all fly out to the UK, God willing. We have been given some extended leave due to all the pressures we have had over the past year or so, so hope to stay until 17th April. Mum's funeral has been set for 3rd April at 1pm. So after the funeral we will have some time with Dad and have some family time as well.

Please pray for safe travels for us and for us as the fact that Mum has gone to be with the Lord becomes more real when we arrive back and she is not there. Please also pray for Fiona who unexpectedly is helping to cover things for a some of the time that Paul is away. Also pray for the team and programme as they run along without their finance manager here especially for Frank, Cecilia and Paul J in the Dodoma finance department.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind message you have sent us at this sad time it has been really a blessing for us to receive them.

God Bless and love from us all
