Prayer Request and Kaana update. Run for Kaana and Haiti
Maureen Mwagale has set up a small business with twelve mothers having temporary stalls in the markets selling some maize and beans produce.
This programme started in January whilst I was in Kampala and is going very well. They are saving up every day and putting some money away. This means that these women don’t have to use their babies to beg any more. Please pray for more mothers to join the scheme and for further, much needed, funding. Maureen will be visiting Uganda again April 2nd-16th and it would be wonderful for her to be able to offer these women some extra funding.
If you would like to offer financial support to Kaana, please have a word with Maureen at the end of the service.

 

Would anyone out there like to help me organise a church fun run (or fun walk!) in aid of Kaana and the victims of Haiti? I was thinking of this happening at the end of April, or early May. I know there are some keen runners amongst us! The run would kick off from church, along the footpath to Tilgate Lakes and back again. Probably under two hours’ worth of exercise! This is just a thought at present, but if there was enough interest we could make it a reality. Pete Appleby (425770)
