2013 Report - Our visit to Acheru and looking at the future of
the work. |
| Hazel and I are
now in Uganda for our long anticipated visit to Acheru. We
always enjoy getting to Uganda, but everything moves on and it’s
our hope that in future other committee members will go out to
represent Africare, and see for themselves the work being done.
We’ve a lot to think about as Acheru has developed within a
very short time and we want now to look at details which may not
have been properly considered before. We want to ensure that
development which was completed in a hurry can now receive the
attention necessary to ensure that everything is finished to a
good standard. There is also the work in the north to think
about – recruitment of personnel, and establishment of our
new unit at Minakulu. |
| There are many
practical issues to deal with relating to buildings, vehicles
and equipment, but of greater concern is Africare’s
relationship with the staff, and how we prepare for the future.
We are discussing Acheru’s management structure, which has
been weakened by the murder of Apollo, and by Paul going away to
study. We are first of all ensuring we all share a common vision
for the work being undertaken, before looking at how the
management committee can perhaps be strengthened to deal with
future needs. |
| We will of
course also be looking at budgets, but it’s a tribute to
you as donors, and the continuing blessing this work has
experienced, that we still face the future with confidence, and
maintain our aim of never having to turn a child away because of
financial constraints. |
