Back in England

I’ve been back a few days now and feel its time to do a picture round up.

These are village mothers who are running the Lively Minds play centres.

These parents meet up in a village church or outside and receive short presentations on such subjects as Improving self esteem, and Compost making.

Some of the 160 children who get play scheme experience each week in each of 27 villages in the Jinja district.

Salma is greeted in traditional fashion by one of the mothers.

One of my favourite pictures. Many mothers would have to bring their children along to the adult sessions.

It was a privilege to be able to attend these meetings in the villages and to observe what went on. I didn’t feel like a tourist – just an honoured guest.
