It is great to see people from the UK showing interest and the commitment required to visit the Emily Collins School. Martin Duhimbaze, the founder of Our Father’s House Ministries who is building the school also took Mo-Lizzie and Bethan into the Kisoro community to witness some of the traditional local enterprises. They learned a lot and sampled some of the produce too! Perhaps Kisoro Volcanic coffee will be available in the UK one day ☕️ thanks for the photos Martin.

Situated in the remotest South West corner of Uganda, the school is not in the most accessible part of Uganda and to see Mo and Bethan visiting and praying for provision and continued community involvement is so encouraging. Thank you for your support.
