First meeting of the Kampala Technical Working Group - last piece in the MARPs Network's jigsaw . . for the time being!

On 14 March the first meeting of the Kampala Technical Working Group was held in the garden at the MARPs Network's offices in Kamwokya, Kampala. Participants worked hard all day to discuss and agree the program of work for the coming year. This last meeting in the round of TWG meetings held in February and March brought to a close Ian's involvement with the MARPs Network since March 2010. From January Natukunda has been working as the Network Development Worker with Ian's support. From now on Natukunda will be leading this important area of work but without Ian's immediate presence as her mentor and coach. Although hopefully the use of the 'phone and email between Kamwokya and Sheffield will ensure an enduring link.

Ian will be working as a volunteer with VSO and he's set a fund raising target of £1,000 to be reached before setting off. Money raised will go to support VSO's most pressing needs - it won't be used to fund Ian's placement.
