JAMBO! - By Bethan

This is a quick post (really?  I hear you cry!) to say that THE LOAN HAS BEEN APPROVED!  The ladies have been approved to borrow £1,000 (4 million shillings) and the co-operative and savings (bank) clerk is trying to rush it through so our money comes quickly.  Praise God!  Thanks also to a well-timed, and unexpected, donation from Livingstones Coffee Shop in Cambridge, we were able to pay the balance of our outstanding rent for the place and it has been decorated satisfactorily (after some stern words with the landlord about shabby workmanship) and it is now ours!  It has been a long day, meandering around the streets of Kasese in our aprons (home-made by me and paid for by my dad as a treat for the women) handing out free cakes and business cards for Valentine's day so I'll not write more now, but just to summarise, the word is 'out there' and soon 'Jambo!' will be on everyone's lips (see what I did there?  It is after all a cake business!)  Thanks everyone for your prayers.
