Hello Everyone,
Just a brief update on the children.
The GOOD news is that Michael has been enrolled in a training course at an automotive garage to become a mechanic. Hopefully this works out as he is an intelligent young man with a lot of potential. The other Children are all doing well and studying hard in school.
The bad news unfortunately, is that though we previously hired a lawyer and dealt with the department of lands to get the land title transferred into Fred’s son’s name, extended family (remember- Fred had about 37 siblings) are still protesting their ownership of the property and illegally sold off a parcel of the land. This is totally 100% illegal, yet unfortunately as this is Uganda and cultural rights –vs- legal rights often makes the people who are supposed to ENFORCE those laws (police and local council) a bit murky. Frustrating to say the least, but hopefully things will turn out well.
That’s all for now. Hopefully we’ll have more exciting things to report next time.
