1.3.23 A second Shindig for Susie

In 2018, a nine-year-old girl arrived at Mayega Children’s Centre with virtually no sight. Busega Scotland sought the best treatment available and organised a Shindig for Susie to raise immediate funds.

 

 

Four years have passed, and despite the treatment and regular check-ups Susie has lost her sight. She now attends a residential school for children with visual impairment. Looking to the future, Busega Scotland’s support for Susie will far exceed what will be needed for other children at Mayega.

A second Shindig will be held at Garmouth and Kingston Golf on Saturday March 18th at 7.00 for 7.30 with superb local musicians playing blues, folk, acoustic and fiddle music. Entry is free, with a bucket collection, raffle, and competitions.

For full details please email [email protected] or call 07936 383800.

Folk who can’t attend may wish to donate and this is possible through the Donate Now page on the website.

1.3.23 Celebrating success

 A party was held at Mayega Children’s Centre to celebrate the examination success of our Form 4 students. Pascali, Johana and Elizabeth all passed their school leaving exams and are waiting to go onto A level or college.
Until 2021, no young person at the Centre had achieved high enough grades to pass Form 4. This year our trio were placed 4th, 9th and 10th in their school. A real cause for celebration.
The big difference between now and then is the employment of Teacher Reni (in a cap in one of the photos) to help support the children in their studies. This has transformed the learning culture and attainment at the Centre.
