Dieppe to Paris and back!

A Fundraising Cycle for Christian Relief Uganda

By Robin Yeoman and Dan Roberts

I recently cycled 240 miles in 4 days from Dieppe to Paris and back with a great friend of mine, Dan. We wanted to do something to support the great work that is going on in Uganda and raising this money has presented us with a huge challenge. Self-funded, mapped and organized, it has been an absolute pleasure to undertake and it proves how easy it is to get out there and raise the awareness of CRU. Mukund Patel is a personal friend of mine who will be joining the teams Dental Mission in November – the money we have raised ensures people will benefit from all those saddle sores and sweaty brows!! Please follow our blog at www.2wheelygoodguys.tumblr.com to see more photos.

Please feel free to keep sponsoring – we are on £635 as we speak!!!

The New Library

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

The Library at K.P.P.S. Maria’s Care is in used daily and since its refurbishment, reading has improved dramatically especially for the younger classes. It’s a long journey to turn an empty room into a well equipped Library, but great progress has been made over recent months, thanks to supporters. Classes use the books regularly, including the deaf children, and clearly enjoy doing so! More furniture is needed, and the list of books required is unending!
These are bought in Kampala, gradually building up stock of literature and reading schemes appropriate for Ugandan pupils.
