Reaction from Uganda
I thought you would like to read some of the messages of thanks from Uganda from people associated with the various projects I worked with on my recent visit there and continue to assist whilst back in the UK. I would also like to offer my sincere gratitude for the generosity and support you've shown towards our initiatives there - it really makes a huge difference.
Once again many thanks,
Peter/Wello

Peter Nthiga - Head of Sports Aga Khan School, Kampala
Hi Peter,Hope you returned well to England. Just checking on you and to appreciate all you have done with our school. We are very grateful.
The young kids are preparing for a cricket tournament and everyone believes s/he should have a place in the team. That creates more reason for setting up more play opportunities within the school. We are using the books that you gave us, which as you said, are great resources for the teacher. I will keep updating you on some of the things we shared.
Once again thank you for extending your support for Uganda cricket.
Davis Turinawe - Organising Secretary, Ugandan Cricket Association
