RAISING FUNDS FOR UGANDA

Chris Ochaya, our Royce and Jean Abbey scholarship recipient, is returning to Uganda this week after spending some R&R in Sydney with his family over the last few weeks.

Chris learned so much about agricultural and animal management techniques during his 3-month stay in Victoria. He is now keen to use much of his new-found knowledge in his home town of Gulu. He plans to set up a demo farm which will enable him to teach locals. This, in turn, will enable them to support themselves.

The first challenge for Chris is to have a regular supply of water for the farm. The Board has agreed to donate funds to establish a bore water system. Further funding is being sought through a matching grant from District 9800.
