At the TSI Moray ‘Joining the Dots’ conference earlier this year (see news item on 280316) John met a former colleague , Sheena Main, a Service Manager with Aberlour – Scotland’s children’s charity. Sheena and John discussed the work of Busega Scotland and, in characteristic fashion, Sheena became enthusiastic about what we do and links that may be established between Aberlour and Busega Scotland. This is a bit of a ‘Goliath and David’ connection but Aberlour has local services in Moray. For example, we have accepted an invitation to Alba Place’s open day on 18th September. Alba offers services for children with disabilities.

Sheena provided some gifts for the children at Mayega in the form of balloons and mini-frisbees. As the photograph of Malesa shows the children received the gifts with great enthusiasm. When Sheena heard all about Busega Scotland’s work in Tanzania she concluded ‘that’s just like what Aberlour does here, so maybe we should re-name Busega Scotland as ‘Aberlour in Africa!’. Good try Sheena, but no take over – we remain Busega Scotland but welcome your commitment and enthusiasm!
