Runyanjoka Tank Opening

It was great to start the New Year with an official community tank opening at Runyanjoka.


After a morning of: collecting PA equipment, tents and chairs; setting up everything up; Charity and her helpers preparing vast quantities of food - The Guest of Honour the RDC; other Honourable guests and 300 community members arrived, for the official tank opening ceremony!

As in true Ugandan style there were many speeches, much spontaneous dancing and lots of food! Leo once again took to the mic for an official welcome song, he seems to enjoy the limelight! The RDC cut the ribbon to open the tank and the local priest prayed and gave thanks to God.



It was great opportunity to meet local leaders and potential MPs, particularly as we hope to work towards registering the project as an official NGO this coming year.

We hope you enjoy taking a look at some of the photos and that it gives a flavour of the day.
