Janet reading her letter. The children treasure these letters and photos. I have spoken to adults, who were Global Care children who still have the photos and letters from their sponsors.

At the end of the afternoon I was getting ready to leave the centre when Sam and Grace turned up. What a fantastic surprise. He had been allowed out of hospital and had come straight to the centre to see me.
Sam in Newcastle United top we gave to him last year when we visited.
Sam and Grace.
Global Care had aranged for Sam to stay at the centre for a few days to get rest and recover some more. Grace would go home and, there, she would get rest as well not worried about Sam.
Well I said goodbye to everyone, then Sam and Grace and five minutes after this photo I had left the centre.
It is hard leaving but I know that these visits, whilst so short, do a lot of good, showing to these wonderful people that somewhere else in the world people care about them.
I and Cathy plan to be back in Uganda next year and we will see our friends again then. In the meantime I know from experience that Global Care will keep us informed of what is happening and how things are going.
