Paul sharing with other teachers in Uganda

As part of the planned expedition to Uganda that Broadway School are organising in partnership with RJW, I visited the country especially around the immediate area around Salem brotherhood in Kolonyi. This was to see the places where the pupils of broadway School would be staying, whilst also establishing links with local schools and community organisations who would be developed in time with Broadway School.

For me it was the first time I have visited sub-Sahara Africa and I was blown away. The county side, the red earth, the smells, the noises were all different and amazing. I knew within five minutes of arriving that I would really enjoy my visit.

We visited the community of Salem and I got to know some of the people who worked there as well as the plans and aims of the project. I visited a local rural nursery school, Aston School, who educates children that otherwise would not receive any education.

I also visited two other schools and saw and met so many local children and teachers who were so friendly and always had big happy smiles on their faces.

My trip was a huge success. Links were made for the pupils and teachers to explore being pen pals in preparation for the trip going ahead in 2013. 14 pupils and 4 teachers will be part of the expedition. Everyone is very excited.

Brighton Marathon 2012

Well that’s a 26.2 mile run (a marathon!) ticked off my Bucket List!

When you say you are going to do a Marathon, it’s not quite as simple

as rocking up on the start line with a pair of trainers! quite the

opposite, it means eight months of hard training, running weekly half

marathons months before the race. This has been a massive mental and

physical challenge for me. the exhilaration you get from crossing the

finish line (for me arm in arm with my brother) is like nothing I have

felt. It’s quite amazing what our bodies can achieve with hard work,

training and mental determination. I often thanked God during my

training for a) being able to enjoy his creation whilst running around

parks, beside the sea on my trips down to Worthing, and through

crowded towns, and b) for making our bodies so amazing, that with

belief, endurance and training, we can achieve.

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”

– Henry Ford

I just want to say a huge thank you for everyone who supported me, be

it financially or through prayer and general encouragement. The only

thing that kept me going when I got to 20 miles was the thought of the

amazing work of Rejuvenate and the lives that this charity touches

through the generosity of those who give to it’s work. Believe me when

I say what a blessing your money will be, and how far just a little

goes in changing peoples lives. I will be hanging my running shoes up

for a while, but I will never say never…

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily

entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for

us. Hebrews 12:1
