I am very excited about starting to save for the drilling of a second well (water well) in Africa, this time it will be sponsored in the name of Lizzy Forrester and the funds for this will come from sales of Prints!!!
The Busoga Trust is the charity's name which has earned my trust and admiration. I was so touched to see that a first donation made last year, has actually become a reality! It makes such a difference when you can see that something you gave in the hope it would help others much less fortunate than yourself, really does reach them and make a difference.
....... judge for yourselves - have a good look at the photos!
I will be uploading, as soon as I can, the paintings I have started preparing, inspired by these photographs. 50% from the sales of these paintings will also go towards this worthy cause, towards a second well.
Many thanks to those who helped me - to a particular friend in Ibiza, who wishes not to be named;
Frances David - who works for the trust and follows everything up, keeps you updated as to where the money is, and how far things have got, and was so very kind to send these photographs with the wonderful informative letter.
Thanks also to all those involved in the Busoga Trust, in the UK, in Uganda, the villagers in Bugema Lukiyamo: special thanks to the Well Caretaker for his valuable work, and the Well Committee for their responsible and appreciated work and for their wonderful letter of thanks.
I hope that they will get to know and maybe get to see the paintings (will get on with them asap.... up to you Frances?) and I am sure they'll be happy to know, a second donation with a bit of luck, will soon be on the way.
