Update • April 2021

Greetings to all from Uganda.

It’s been long since my last update.

I was able to pass by Glenburnie and I have attached the updated pictures for the construction.

The classes are now ready for use. Painting is going on (one layer - undercoat) to give it some colour. It was so impressive to see the work and progress.

Victoria and Stephen are grateful for the prayers and support from ETRA UK.

More students were allowed to return to school, that is P.6. In May more classes will be allowed to return to school according to the Ministry of Education in Uganda. We continue to pray for a complete lift of the lockdown on schools. We continue to pray that the pandemic will leave the world sooner. We continue to pray for your health and safety amidst this challenging time.

Wishing you every blessing in Christ.

The Guest House
This was originally designed as an income-generating project.  The idea was to welcome people from overseas to “Experience The Real Africa” (ETRA)- hence the name of the charity.   This is still open to guests and it is hoped that after the pandemic people will come and visit.  Meanwhile the building is being well used by the school and local community.
