Story
Caroline & Chris Thompson are raising funds to build a house for Rachel - the little girl in these pictures who we sponsor in Kabubbu in Uganda. We will be walking along Hadrian’s Wall from Jul 2nd - aiming at 70 miles from just outside Newcastle towards the sea beyond Carlisle.
Rachel was abandoned at birth - left outside the mud hut pictured here. An old lady called Epifrance took her in and has been looking after her since then. Last time I saw Rachel she was a bright, happy child – enjoying school. Sadly Epifrance is getting towards the end of her life and is often ill, leaving Rachel in a vulnerable situation.
A secure future for Rachel can be provided by building a 2 roomed house where she could be looked after by a foster mother under the guidance of the Kabubbu Development Project (supported by Quicken Trust in the UK). Other children without any living relatives could share this home. It will cost £4,500 and Chris and I are hoping to raise funds for this over the next 12 months. 100% of any donations made will go direct to the project in Kabubbu.
