Huts to university in 50 years!




In 1964 Kagando Hospital began when expelled missionaries from Congo took over a disused leprosarium, consisting of a dozen asbestos Nissan huts, see picture.

Yesterday the Danish ambassador opened new accommodation and lecture rooms for the 260 strong nursing school, funded by the Danish government. This school is the basis of the anticipated Kagando Nursing Degree Course, which will be linked to the Christian University near Kampala. Wow!

These links help the peasant community here reach into the modern world. Thank God.
