With Kahokya's Pr Mzaliwa, and fellow KBAC-DC members Thembo Isaiah and Pr Ezekiel, both of whom worked like Trojans for a week to complete the rainwater tank at Kahokya BC.  Nov 2014.

Jonah has now joined Sam at nursery school. He (mostly) loves it, and we get peace and quiet in the mornings for the first time in over 3 years of living here!

 

 

Charcoal training at the new brick church at Kahokya.  The top half of these bricks were all bought with phone-charging income from their solar project.  Sep 2014.

 

 

It started raining heavily during the charcoal training at Kahokya, so we moved the drum inside the church and carried on burning - I guess you couldn't do this inside a British church!

 

Our boys on the very long train journeys between Nairobi and Mombassa on our Kenyan summer holiday.  Luckily they enjoyed staring out of the window for hours at a time!  Aug 2014.

 

The long journeys were completely worth it for the fantastic white sand and warm Indian Ocean at Diani Beach, just south of Mombassa in Kenya. The boat in the background was the glass-bottomed boat from which we saw many beautiful fish.

 

Bethan and Sam enjoying a camel ride along Diani Beach next to the Indian Ocean in southern Kenya - you can't do this in Uganda!

 

 

Isaiah setting off on two heavily loaded motorbikes for the steep climb up to Mahango BC to complete the final solar installation, which he did all by himself.  Aug 2014.  He is planning a further solar project to reach more remote churches after we've gone in 2015.

 

Evaluating the solar projects in Jul/Aug 2014.  Children at the new nursery at Kantale Baptist Church while Isaiah and I fixed a light-fitting.  This time Bethan was able to climb up the mountain with me, the first white woman ever to do so!

 

 

Starting the duck-rearing project in Congo Quarter.  The children are excitedly watching the basket full of 18 ducks while NAADS (Government Agricultural Advisory service) worker Moses teaches the group members about de-worming and caring for their ducks.  June 2014.
