We met Pastor Frank today at VCCS to go and meet various Ministers and Political people that we will need to know. It was just a chance to meet them and make ourselves known to them so that they do not discover us and what we are doing by chance one day. A chance to make sure we know who to talk to ensure we are doing things right and not have to change the way we have done things at a later date. Me met the Regional District Commission (RDC. the presidents local representative), the LC5 Chairman (basically the same as the premier back home), the Deputy RDC, the Vice Chairman (the one who looks into NGO’s), the District Inspector of Schools and the Local Inspector of Schools for Kabale.
It was good we met theses people as we have been put on the right track for starting a school. The local inspector of Schools said that some people just start up a school, but when she inspects she has to close them down as they do not meet the requirements. It is also as Pastor Frank has a good relationship with her and we will be able to get her to inspect any property we are looking at to ensure it will meet the set standards.
For lunch today we went to a local ‘Pork Joint’ that Ben seemed to talk about a lot. When we arrived there Phil said ‘Man, this looks like one shady operation’ and the look on Kathryn’s face said that she was thinking the same. But we went in anyway and now Phil seems to want to make it a regular place to eat. This afternoon I went with Pastor Frank and Pastor Edward to a local Pastors fellowship. It was a good chance to meet some of the people we will have contact with in the future.
