A wee update

Apologies for the delay in updating our blog. I had hoped that 2009 would start quieter than 2008 finished but alas it didn't so we are already playing catch up. I thought it was about time that I gave you a flight story as it has been a while....

Simon had a flight over Christmas and was able to pick up a lady who had damaged her eye. She was cutting grass and a hard object bounced up and hit her in the eye. She went to the local clinic but they were unable to help her. A MAF flight happened to be flying into that area so she was able to get on the flight with her three year old child and go to the eye clinic at Mengo Hospital in Kampala. This eye clinic was set up by Christian Blind Mission and they do a marvelous work. We haven't had any feedback yet but MAF was glad that they were able to assist this lady in getting the best treatment for her eye injury.

Just to give you an update...the Project Management course has started and we are half way through. It is going well and very practical which is what we need. There are two projects we are working through in class and then we have our own practical project that we are doing so we can use the tools we have been given. Jacqueline and I are actually doing a joint project for the Guesthouse. We are looking at designing a self contained apartment. It is fun to do this project as it might become a reality one day once we have the funding. The guesthouse is doing well and has been full for most of January so far. So much so that we are having to turn people away. Maybe we need to look into doing a bigger project - starting a hotel :)
