This morning we discovered that president Mussiveni would be visiting the hotel we are currently staying at! The hotel was awash with yellow as the staff made preparations for the arrival of the Ugandan president and the town was plastered with Mussivenei posters.

7 very exhilarated runners represented Gospellife International in the Bristol 10K. From all at Gospellife International THANK YOU; not only to the competitors who ran but also to all of you that supported them. I know that when we visit the remote villages of Eastern Uganda on the 24th May and tell the village elders that we can start with the well projects, there are going to be some very happy people. We have spoken with the villages about this project over the past two years, now we can get it underway, the more we raise the more we can do.
