New Manager for Maria's Care - Thank You, Lord!

Francis Kedi joined the Maria's Care team on 1st September 2008, following nine years running a Compassion International supported project for disadvantaged children in remote Uganda.  He is 36 and a committed member of Kampala Pentecostal Church.  He has a teacher wife and two young daughters. He will serve a 6 month probationary period, hopefully followed by a three year contract.
We are thrilled to have been able to secure the sevices of one with such relevant experience and expertise. We are very grateful for the work of the charity UDS (Uganda Development Services) who have supported us over the last year & who will continue to have a considerable input.

 
Dental Trips

There have been 2 volunteer dental trips to Uganda this year. Although the Maria's Care facilities have been closed to visitors in 2008 and hence there were no general volunteer trips, the dental project trips have been well supported. The volunteers go to various areas where dental treatment is in short supply, including some remote locations, and do not stay at Maria's Care.
