Kat Tucker, who has previously lived and worked in Uganda visited in December and ran a training session for some of the teachers working with disabled children in schools we support.

The feedback from the training, which was to help exsisting teachers to work with children with special needs more effectively, was excellent and we are so grateful to Katherine for giving her time and energy to make the training happen. Just before Christmas Kat also arranged for an art day for some of the disabled children whom we work with – As you can see from this picture they seem to have had an amazing time! Some of their work will be on show at an event in London which will take place in June!
