What do our links really mean in practice?
“If one goes to Uganda, even for a short time, with an open mind – it cannot fail to be a life changing experience.”
Karin Needham visited Uganda in January 2010 and writes movingly of her time staying in the Diocese of Mukono: “It was a wonderful experience to be thrown into such a different culture and to be fully loved and accepted.”
