We started the day catching up with emails and making sure the arrangements are in place at the branches for next week. The plans are going well and all the branches appear to be very well organised. We met with Patrick (Branch co-ordinator at Mokono) at Mulago hospital, where the Red Cross volunteers have been helping the survivers and relatives of people involved in the Kampala bombings that killed 76 people and injured over 100. The teams are doing an amazing job and highlights that the Red Cross are always at the front to support those in crisis. We discussed the run and training programme with Patrick, which are all in order, and as Patrick put it "we will be even more beautiful this year and even better"..
We then held a meeting with Joram the branch co-ordinator from Kampala East and Lawrence to discuss the closing event and charity auction. We discussed the guests we would invite, the event program, logistics and the security arrangements. We met with Mr Ramakrishnan the general manager from the Fairway Hotel and checked he was happy with the current plans.
We spent the rest of the day getting the final arrangements in place and gaining support for the auction. Tomorrow we will be meeting a very good friend Ambassador Kiirya Powal (Tom) and then after the finalising of the arrangements we will be meeting Greg. I bet he is excited!!!!!!
