Stephen Gesa and Pastor Fred Ssempijja visited with us at the start of November and have now safely returned to Kamuli in Uganda. We pray for them and for all our friends in Uganda, knowing that they have returned home with lots of happy memories of their time in Tillydrone. On behalf of the Church and everyone associated with Tillydrone Vision, I would like to say a great big thanks to the Folks of Tillydrone for the welcome accorded to our visitors. You really are fantastic Folks!

Thanks for all of your efforts and a special thanks for all your help!

We look forward to meeting up again with all of our friends in Uganda in a few months time.

Bezallel School: Kamuli was founded at the beginnings of the new millenium by Pastor Fred Ssempijja. He hoped to be able to do something to help provide an education for many of the orphaned children of Kamuli. With the support of the Elders of the Church and the Congregation they founded Bezallel School. Today there are almost 500 children attending the School. From humble beginnings a few years ago Bezallel School has continued to flourish and provide a high standard of education and Christian principles to the young people in it’s care. Today many local families now choose to have their children educated here but Bezallel still remains true to Pastor Fred’s vision of helping Orphaned children with a School roll where more than 60% of children in school are Orphans.

Miki Club Kamapala: Miki Club which is attached to Namirembe Cathedral in Kampala. Miki club is a group of Young Folks led by Auntie Sharot. They go out visiting and do a lot of work with young people in local Schools around the many poor districts throughout Kampala.In an age when young people and teenagers especially get such a bad press, it is really encouraging to see the work these young people do.They really are a fantastic bunch of young folks with a tremendous attitude and care for other folks less well off. It was a real pleasure for us to be meeting with them and hearing of the work they are doing.

Plans are now well underway and we will meet with all of these folks again when a group of us will be visiting Uganda in Feb. Next year.
