This year we have supported the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal with a donation of £100 and we seek to support The Good Samaritan School, Kampala, Uganda. Our links to Uganda St Anne’s Church has long established links with 2 projects in Uganda. Between 1994 and 1998 our church contributed to the building of St Luke’s Church at Mulago Hospital (the largest hospital in Uganda) in Kampala. This church is now self-financing but still grateful for the help we gave them. Members of St Anne’s are now supporting the Good Samaritan School. With the help of Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Blackburn and ‘The Erasmus Uganda Trust’, this school is now flourishing but still needs our help. 260 children (including over 60 boarders) attend the school which is in a village/suburb of Kampala. Their latest project has been to add a Health Centre to the school, not just for the children but for community use too. We would like to help them equip this centre with basic medical equipment as at the moment, it comprises of 2 rooms with a bed in each.For more pictures please click on the link! If you can help us, we are grateful of any donations. Please return your envelope this Sunday
