Monday 19th May 2008

We had the normal run of the day activities sorting out a few little things here and there, but the event of the day comes thanks to the Roberts.  We had afternoon tea to celebrate Phobice’s (Pastor Frank’s wife) graduation of a course she had been doing.  It was a great chance to relax and catch up with all that were there, talking easy without wondering if others comprehend what we are saying.

After this Pastor Edward headed off to organise things for a girl named Promise Rukundo to go to boarding school.  She was a member at Pastor Jackson’s church but had to move back to the village as she could not afford the next year of school in the town, but was going to a village school instead.  There were four subjects that she was meant to be doing but could not because the school did not have teachers for them.  Someone from Australia had sent money for her to go to a boarding school not too far out of town, so she is starting next week, and Pastor Edward was helping by getting last minute things together for her.
