James is still very poorly, can you help please?

Dear Friends
As  I reported to you in my last update James, head teacher of St James Junior School, was very sick with Malaria as well as suffering from a bad chest infection. With his family’s help he recovered from the Malaria, went back to work but then became very sick again and was taken to hospital where he and his family were told he had a ‘neuro’ problem. Unfortunately with his immune system being very weak James has contracted Toxoplasmosis which is an infection caused by a parasite. The only treatment for this infection is very expensive and there is no free medical assistance in Uganda. The family are trying their best to finance his prescription but with it costing £28 per day for six weeks, they really need our help. If you could possibly make a donation towards James’ medical bill it would be much appreciated. Thanks you so much. x

Summer is approaching, honest! Treat yourself and help St James!

The bags are beautifully made by a lady called Esther, are fully lined with a pocket inside and zip fasteners unless otherwise stated. Suggested donations £8, £9 and £15 for the biggest patchwork bag. The comfy trousers are ‘one size fits all’ (including me!!) and come in many colours. Suggested donation £13.                          Any reasonable donation will be considered. Thanks.
