So another week of Parent Group meetings has been completed. I really enjoy going out to the see the Parent Groups now as we know each other and feel comfortable together. I am always greeted so warmly. We had great fun miming the tasks that parents have to do for their families and then linking this responsibility to the responsibility of a Committee to do certain tasks for the organisation. Each group then made a collage of pictures depicting the tasks that we have identified for the Committee.
On the last two days we were accompanied by some Student Lions from Norway who are on an exchange visit to Uganda. They really enjoyed the journey up into the mountains of Buhweju and the next day to Kigarama, and participating in the meetings. These young people are on a repeat visit to our project as they are raising money back in Norway for us to establish a piggery as an income generating project. We hope that in the future this project will provide an income to cover Silent Voices’ costs and also help to raise the income level of its members. Terry was busy filming so that he can produce a video about Silent Voices to help in the fund raising and they are so enthusiastic it was a real pleasure to have them here.
