Tuesday, July 27th, 2010What makes a photograph a good photograph?
Monday, July 26th, 2010What makes a good photograph – I have absolutely no idea…but somehow we all know one when we see one. There are almost 2000 amazing photographs from this summer’s Kenya and Uganda trips. I have selected a few here – just ones that lept out of the screen at me…
There’s something about the action…the togetherness, the dynamic of this photograph which symbolizes the team this year.
Hands and eyes – how Ugandan is that!
Happy young people…raw human contact – how we have lost this!
This year was very much about water – here’s the spring that supplies this village – it has flowed since ‘time immemorial’…but how hard to fetch each day – I hope we will make the lives of some of these villagers that much easier by pumping it uphill to our storage tanks…how vital it is to the Maternity Clinic…thank you to all who funded this project.
The sheer joy and love of learning
Compassion and generosity pour out once the plug is removed
Never not surrounded by children…
There’s a deep sadness in those eyes
Windows into beautiful souls…
Desperate children, desperate health issues, desperately needy communities…
How much attention can one ‘Muzunguesse’ take?
We see a far horizon but we tell the story and invite you to adventure with us as the story unfolds and the horizon draws closer. Trust the dream, let the story generate faith and draw you in…you are now part of an amazing story…
Where is beauty? Is it in the eyes of the photographer and is his skill to share it with the world?
The beauty is in an expression that reveals the quality of a soul frozen in time and captured for all to behold…
Actions…
frozen in time…
It’s the sheer blatant naughtiness!!
How much energy and passion and fun can be stored in one Welshman?

Actually – may be it’s just the people…!!
School Projects
Monday, July 26th, 2010A significant aspect of the work of our pupil teams is to teach lessons and to take activities both in and outside the classrooms. Conditions are often extreme, with up to 100 children per class, very poor classrooms and little or no classroom equipment or furniture.
This year we worked in three schools and visited a further two, we were unable to visit our two shanty town schools because of the terrorist outbreak and our need for ultimate caution.

(This school is now partnered with the primary School in Betws y Coed)

…even…cricket!!
We had two nurses with us this year (Dianne, Sue Moore’s cousin from Tasmania and Phil Hufton past SDC pupil) as a result we were able to run health clinics and tackle a number of injuries and skin conditions.
These pictures from a remote rural school in South West – Kyfuro primary School
We were entertained to songs, dance and drama by the school children and in turn…
…Titch pulls out his party tricks!
Lily Fitzpatrick and Holly Booth taking a craft lesson
An intense Maths lesson with ‘Bohana’…
…and a little more relaxed with Sue Moore…
Meanwhile General Zoe takes command..
These pictures from a tiny and extremely poor rural school we visited about 10km off road
A motto we could not ignore…we went back…we will keep going back until we find that future smile on their faces
Bonding times
and is this that future smile?
Sponsored Children
Monday, July 26th, 2010Click here for Barnaby and the Beads Community
Each time we visit Uganda we try to visit the children sponsored in school by the friends of Link International and St David’s College.
These 11 children at the ‘Beads Community’ are all supported in school as a result of the beads we buy and sell.
Harriet is Amelia’s friend and is the chair person of our group of ladies who make the beads. She co-ordinates the sponsorship of these children with us.
Emma (Emmanuel Lubega) now lives at our Maternity Site and along with his 2 brothers and baby cousin are looked after by their old grandma. Emma, and Julius his older brother, are both sponsored and doing well in school. Emma is sponsored by a Rhos on Sea family and Julius by Colwyn Bay Lions.
Grandma, who stands in the gap for her children, the parents who have died or simply ‘gone missing’.
This year we were unable to visit Katwe United Primary School because of the terrorist activity, but we do have 3 children sponsored there and doing well.
