Greetings. Brighter days, blossom and flowers coming up, remind us that it is spring and although Coronavirus occupies the airwaves and causes us all to be careful and mindful of folk risking their lives in Hospitals and the community, it is good to be know that seasons like God do not change.
Punu Dyang
Punu Dyang, the tiny health centre started from scratch in the jungle in 2017 as a satellite from Oberabic, continues to meet the needs of the local population with large numbers attending the clinic and outreach to such an extent that it is now proposed to build a 4 roomed unit.
Local folk have made and donated 10,000 bricks (see picture).
We sent some money to try to get the foundations built ahead of Coronavirus restrictions but were too late. The money is now being used for medicines
Annual Report
Nick, (Dr Nicolas Laing) produced an amazing annual report with a huge amount of detail . It was very positive. Oberabic continues to do well and was able both to serve their population and enhance their finances through a USAid maternity project. The maternity unit was such a good investment. Thank you to donors. The USAid project has now ceased.
As mentioned above the satellite clinic from Oberabic, (Punu Dyang) is doing amazingly well. The other clinic we support though nurse funding in Awere is also thriving clinically.
Personel
Fiona - Administrator
Fiona recently had her first child. We wish her well (and Nick’s survival) through her maternity leave.
Les and Sylvia Carter
Not mentioned before but Les and Sylvia had to resign as trustees on account of Les’ ill health and sadly Les has subsequently died. He was a gracious caring man who embraced the aims of Gulu Connection and acted very efficiently as financial officer. Although Les passed some time ago we send our condolences to Sylvia who also served as trustee with compassion and great proficiency in her role as secretary to the Charity.
