Reste and a falling kitchen

Sunday 19^th November 2006.

 

Last evening we had a message from Kasaka, the kitchen where the children’s food is cooked and where the boarding children gather in the evening had fallen down in a heavy rainstorm. Isaac had seen what was about to happen and shouted to the children to get out, but 1 little girl, e was too far from the door and she was hit on the forehead by some falling pieces. As she fell she caught her leg on the cooking fire and burnt her leg and a thumb. They took her to the local clinic and then to the health centre some 10 miles from Kasaka, where she was stitched up.

This morning Noah & I went to get her because the ‘doctor’ said she needed to have her head x-rayed.

When we arrived in Masaka discovered there are no x-ray facilities in Masaka on a Sunday, so the local hospital dressed her leg and re-stitched her head where there is a gash right down her forehead and she will stay with us (well Josephine really!) until we get the x-ray done and the results tomorrow. She is very quiet and a bit concussed we think but lets wait and see.

 

Thanks for you prayers and caring.

Alan & Beryl.

thanks Alan - we got some news through in time to pray during the second service - please keep us up to date here. Trust she is doing better today. One question - was it part of the new building that came down?

Wednesday morning.
Reste is now back at school, her head and leg will take a while to heal and she will have a scar on her head, but she is fine now really, thank you so much for your prayers.
While she was with us we bought her some clothes and when she got back she was merrily showing them off to everyone!!!
Reste is in need of sponsorship if you can help - see the web site www.loveuganda.org

Have seen little Reste recently. Oh, she is a sweetie, full of smiles. Anyway the gaping wound on her head has disappeared and there is an extremely neat scar that seems to be shrinking rapidly. The burn is healing too, but slower. Thanks for your prayers for this little girl.
