Story

<p>As you might have noticed from the wedding invitation, Ruth has a strange middle name - Leinyuiy.&nbsp; This was given to her by a pastor in Cameroon, West Africa, where she was born.&nbsp; From when she was very young, Ruth always had a desire to go back to Africa and so in 2000 she spent a fantastic 8 months working in Uganda.&nbsp; The Rafiki Trust was set up by some friends that she met when she when she was working there.&nbsp; It supports local people who can really make a difference in their communities, by giving them educational opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.</p>
