The recent heavy rain has caused some damage to the small wall underpinning the newly erected security fence at the Children’s Centre. The contract had written into it a clause whereby the contractor has to make good any problems. Like young men anywhere, Lukondya and Malesa were keen to join in the remedial work. Their energy and enjoyment is there for all to see, with continuous joking and banter.

While this work was going on, Busega Scotland reached agreement with a painting fundi to decorate the second building and paint the outside walls.

A long overdue job. In the late afternoon the paint arrived and all the children helped with the offloading. Matron has chosen the colours, keeping Christine and John out of the ‘firing line’ if the colour scheme doesn’t meet with everyone’s approval! Latest reports say that the fundi is getting on well and we should be able to inspect the finished work on our next visit.
