News from Uganda Trip
Miss Logan Keeps Us Up-To-Date With Our Twin School in Bezallel
Over the April break, Miss Logan travelled with a group of 16 people from the Tillydrone Vision charity to Kamuli, Uganda to visit a number of schools including Riverbank’s partner school, Bezallel. Riverbank have partnered with Tillydrone Vision and Bezallel for a number of years and during that time Bezallel has grown from a ‘school in a shed’ to a growing school with classrooms and boarding facilities for its 300+ children. The team from Tillydrone Vision had the pleasure of providing and serving a delicious full meal to the children and the staff of the school while they visited. The children
normally only have porridge for their lunch, but they got rice, chicken, vegetables, sauce and juice for their lunch that day! The children of Riverbank School raised money a few years ago to help fund a protective wall to surround the school to protect the children who lived on the site. Miss Logan got to see the finished wall which is strong and ensures the children at the school are safe from dangers outside the school. The Riverbank logo is displayed proudly on the wall! Miss Logan also took a blanket to the school that had been knitted and embroidered by our very own Busy Bee Knitting Club. The children and the staff were delighted with this lovely gift which will be used in the medical room of the school. Miss Logan also took friendship badges to the children of Bezallel which had been made by the children of Riverbank. The children were seen wearing their badges proudly immediately after receiving them.
