Em's Birthday Celebrations

A couple of weeks back was Em's birthday - we decided to go out for it to the Serena Hotel in downtown Kampala. Every Sunday they do an amazing brunch, so after church we went over to the Serena and enjoyed a lovely meal as a family. It was buffet style and they even had sea food. Normally we steer well clear of sea food, what with being almost as far from the sea in Africa as you can get, but this was different - it was delicious! The dessert counter was great - I made it my mission to try everything, but failed... :-( They even brought out some cake for her with "Happy Birthday Emma" written in chocolate icing. We can thoroughly recommend it!

MAF Africa IT Conference

Well, next week I am going to be in Nairobi at the first ever MAF Africa IT conference. It was organised to allow the IT personnel from across all the MAF programmes in Africa to get together and meet up with each other.
We have about 12 people coming from West Africa, East Africa and some of the support staff from the UK are joining us as well. Most of us have not met up with each other and for me, I have only communicated with some of the attendees via skype or email and some not at all. It's going to be a good few days!
MAF in general is going through a lot of changes as we seek to streamline various parts of our programmes. The manager in charge of IT for the Africa region is going to be bringing us up to speed on what these changes are and how they will be affecting us in our respective countries.
We would really value your prayers for the conference.
