Emily's weekend with RSK Uganda

We welcomed the RSK Uganda team to NVI on Friday; they came to support UgandAid and NVI, and to ‘muck in’ with the cleaning and decorating. With all the help, the two classrooms were finished in record time! And it was a lot of fun.

The RSK Uganda team consisted of eleven Ugandans, as well as Matt from the UK, and Rasim from Abu Dhabi; all of who were an absolute delight to work with and chat to. Myself, Lynda, Nick, and Antonio (RSK members on the UgandAid trip) were very happy to meet and spend time with our colleagues.

Whilst painting, RSK’s sponsored student, Dan, arrived at NVI. He is a very polite and quite shy young lad, however seemed extremely pleased to meet so many people from RSK who wanted to know and care about him. It was perfect that RSK’s Ugandans were with us, because Dan’s English is not very strong, they were able to talk to him in his own language, which enabled him to really connect with the team and feel loved.

We feel blessed that the RSK team was able to be with us for the day, and that they mentioned enthusiastically that they would like to come again next year. I hope the connections between RSK, UgandAid and NVI remain strong and progress further.

Thank you to RSK for all of your support, and thank you to NVI and UgandAid for hosting the team.
