The BIG Meal 2010
According to news just coming out via the 'Third Sector' magazine, Scottish charities will lose funding amounting to around £8.5 million around 24 per cent, after the Scottish Governments most recent budget. Charities like Mission International will still however make sure that the donations made to our projects are valued at 100%. Mission International currently does not levy any administration costs to our donations making sure that 100% of what come in from our donors goes to our projects.
Kabanda's Dad receives a wheelchair:
During October of 2010 a team from Dundee in Scotland visited Uganda, they carried with them a wheelchair which 
had been donated locally and this was passed on to Kabanda's dad who had been seriously hurt in a road accident. This gift is currently his only way of getting around in hospital since the uninjured leg is a lame leg meaning that he is now unable to support his weight on either leg.
had been donated locally and this was passed on to Kabanda's dad who had been seriously hurt in a road accident. This gift is currently his only way of getting around in hospital since the uninjured leg is a lame leg meaning that he is now unable to support his weight on either leg.Due to the serious nature of the injuries he has sustained to his leg it has been necessary to undergo several operations which in Uganda cost a lot of money. The cost of staying in hospital too is expensive (no NHS providing food or bandages or anything else for that matter). Unable to go to work he does not bring in any income and relies of donations from friends and family to survive. If you are able to contribute to this then it would be very much appreciated. Kabanda's dad is a Moslem, however he has been really touched by the support he has already received via Mission international donors. We pray that he will not only fully recover but also come to know the one who loves him more than any other, our Lord Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for him and for the whole family that they respond to the Good News!

Nyembuye Clinic Water Supply - support site now available!
Now that the Burundi team have returned they have set to work to try to raise funds for the Nyembuye clinic water supply. The clinic is situated in Nyembuye, a remote village in the province of Matana near to Rutana town. The site found here is designed to receive support for individual metres of pipe to bring the water from the hillside spring to the clinic's water storage tank. Please have a look and get involved with this very worthwhile project if you can.

Uganda team a triumph!
ome of Jez & Helen Fage and their three kids. This family are mission
aries from a church in Swansea in Wales and
have been serving with ARMs for a couple of years. Last night Jez t
ook me to the airport from my 10 o'clock flight with KLM bound for Amsterdam, after Helen had prepared a wonderful meal before we set off. The flight was full and took off on time, however as the nose of the plane lifted an extremely loud rumbling crunching and groaning with a serious vibration began and continued as the plane climbed slowly over the lake. Passengers all grabbed the seat in front of them as it was abundantly clear that there was something seriously wrong with the plane. The crew, who did a wonderful job throughout, let us know there was a problem but they did not know what it was. Some news came through that we had
a hit a very large bird (the size of a cow if the noise was anything to go by) and we had lost one engine as a result and so we would need to return to Entebbe, A lot of prayers were prayed during the few nervous moments as the flight was brought safely back to earth. Jez returned to the airport to get me and took me back to his home where I slept the night and from where I write this message not knowing when I will get home.
Mean time the team are in Rakai, they have spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Gabba, Bethany Village and visiting projects such a Mighty Meals in Bweyogerere. In the next few days they will visit the Murchison Falls game park and Dwelling Places in Kampala. All in all it seems like it will be a really eventful trip with all sorts of stories to tell on our return to Scotland.
