REPORT FROM UGANDA

Malcolm and Hélène Alexander, with whom the parish is linked, have written a long letter about the Wambabya Farm Scheme, financed by Christian Aid and run by C.M.S., and the Uganda Church and Government. Here are some extracts:—

"The tea nursery occupies about three acres of land near the River Wambabya. We have been planting both 1, tea seed, and 2, cuttings of tea for vegetative propagation ... the nursery employs about 40 Africans ... a mixture of local Bunyoro people, with some Congolese and Rwandans who have left their countries. On land between the nursery and our buildings we are clearing three blocks of land, each of 20 acres. Each block is being cleared by 10 school-leavers, boys of about 18-21 years old, and thus each will have two acres of land in this first block, which will be planted with tea in March, 1968. Our other house is thatched and has had its first coat of mud; it needs two more plus the plaster. The kitchen has a tin roof, because of the risk of fire. At the moment I am having to cook on a primus and a couple of charcoal fires ... we are using hurricane lamps at night ... water has to be got every day from a well or from a water-tank, if it has rained ... On Sundays we have a service at 10 a.m., usually held outdoors under some trees on the site where the church is to be built. We follow Mattins as in the Prayer Book, but, of course, the entire service is in Lunyoro ... one of the Carrs' houseboys takes the service ... and Stephen Carr delivers the sermon, as he is fluent in several African languages ... some of the Africans are being prepared for Baptism and Confirmation and we also hope to start a Sunday school. The church is being built by the boys in their spare time and at the moment they have got as far as clearing the elephant grass and putting in some of the wooden supports."
