Wells for Uganda





Last year we sponsored a student nurse we know to visit a well drilling project in Northern Uganda with a Prince George based charity called the Northern Uganda Development Foundation. This year she invited us to their annual fundraising dinner. There was loads of fantastic African food (far better food than I expect most native Northern Ugandans normally eat) as well lots of photo slides and information on the work of the NUDF over the last year (visit http://nudf.org/ for more info). One of my work colleagues is there in Uganda drilling wells or such like at this moment. We also met some new people on our table including Chris and Kathleen (above). Kathleen works as the travel agent for the University here which involves organising trips to some of the most remote and inaccessable places in the world. I good person to know methinks.
