Busega Scotland

Ist June is the first day of the metrological summer and without doubt today we have been basking in a warm glow. So, why is that?

There is one question heard now and then in the Carney household, but never at the Mayega Children’s Centre, ‘can you hear a tap running?’. But all this maybe about to change. We have received an email from Dr Raphael Chegeni, the MP for Busega District:

Dear John,

Many Greetings from here!

I have some good news for you that we’ll have funds to connect water pipeline to Mayega soon.

Please be advised accordingly

Once again, my appreciation for continued support to the people in need.

Thanks

Raphael

Once water reaches Mayega village we have funds from the Rotary Club of Elgin to bring the pipe into the children’s centre. What a moment that will be!

Then, a little later a message came from the Goat Race Charity in Dar es Salaam:

Dear Paul and Christine,

We are very pleased to inform you that you have been successful in your Goat Races application for

funding amounting to 4,590,000/-.

We will be in touch nearer the time, the Races will be held on Saturday, 16th September.

Kind regards

Karen

Paul is Paul Mashimba, Managing Director of our Partner NGO at the Chole Family Support Project and Karen is the Goat Race administrator. The Goat Race is a ‘high society’ charity event and we put in an application to double the size of our Chole Project to 70 families. The grant is about £1,700.

Now all our readers are feeling a warm glow!
