Olivia’s Trip – Tuesday 7th May
Livy ( Olivia Jones ) from Ebbesbourne Wake has travelled out to Northern Uganda in her role as CRESS agricultural adviser .
Agnes receiving the Dhoor family
Livy and the CRESS Uganda team travelled to Imvepi camp – her first port of call was to Agnes the widow of Rev Emmanuel Amule – sadly Rev Emmanuel died last year only early 40s leaving his wife and family impoverished. Today Livy met Agnes as shown in the photograph and handed over the Chalke Valley Travelling Refugee Family – she also handed over funds collected by the chalke valley residents who had the refugee family staying with them during Lent – these funds will be used by Agnes to help her be self sufficient.
She tearfully thanked us all for everything explaining how hard life was in the camp. Her main concern she constantly voiced was always only for her children not herself.
With Jeska, group leader of Bulomini group in Bidi Bidi refugee camp. She proudly explained that the group garden was acting as an inspiration to group members in showing them how to create small, sustainable vegetable gardens near their own homes using sacks of compost.
