Fifteen computers donated by North Staffs businesses were sent to the Masindi Centre for the Handicapped (MCH) in March 2004. MCH is one of the very few schools in Uganda that cater for disabled children. Many of the pupils are profoundly deaf, and, as such, stand very little chance of ever being able to work. These machines will help the pupils to become computer literate and greatly improve their prospects of gainful employment in later life. For their help in this project, we are extremely grateful to Stourbridge Rotary Club, FOAG, Masindi Rotary Club and especially to David and Maggie Byensi, without whom we would not have succeeded.
