Today was a good day.  We managed to finally meet with the Probation Officer, who set us in the right direction.  We also employed our first staff member.  Prossy Namaya (who I had previously written about as Pruce) is our administrator, who will later take on the role of Nursery Teacher also.  This is Prossy: 

Prossy is going this afternoon to arrange employment contracts with our first two matrons, as well as gaining approval from the children’s guardians and local councillors (LC1 Chairmen).  It was good to have someone else that is able to do the leg work especially now that things are getting busier. We also had breakthroughs with the house side of things also. 

Action man Phil, went with Henry and now electricity and water are connected, refrigerator purchased, the house is being overhauled/cleaned tomorrow, the grounds/gatekeeper is hired and the night watchman is in the process of being hired.  So perhaps tomorrow afternoon, if we get time, we may move in.  We will see though, as we are going in the morning to the lake with the Ward’s as it is Eddie’s birthday, so we are shouting them lunch there.  If we do not get in tomorrow afternoon, we may have to wait until Monday or Tuesday, as we are busy with church and Akanyijuka stuff all day Sunday and Monday at least.  Phil also went with Henry to see the Town Clerk, and reported that it was the quickest meeting he had ever had – the Clerk did not even read the letter, just said ok, you start!  Praise God!!
