Thank you everyone who made some amazing donations of used school books, clothes and other useful things... we have packed them up and sent them off to Uganda in a container provided again by very helpful people at charity Friends of Teso.
Basically, at low cost they kindly hired us space in their container, which started its journey Bishops Waltham on Saturday November 22 and will leave Felixstowe at the end of this week, if all goes to plan. It will travel by sea to Mombassa in Kenya, then go overland direct to a small town in Uganda, called Soroti – which is just north of Mbale.
There it will wait until representatives of all the charities receiving goods can gather on the same day, and then be opened by the local bishop. As before, the container will remain in Soroti, where it will most likely be converted into a home. It may take up to three months to arrive... we'll let you know when it gets there!
