$2455.65 was transferred to Rubaga Youth Development Association (RYDA) on August 14th. This amount has been gathered since the last donation on April 29th through two Singularity concerts, which contributed $1830, and personal donations of various amounts, mostly from members of St. Margaret's, Mooroolbark and St. John's, Cowes. Thank you to everyone who has given in this way to support RYDA's work providing vocational and life skill training for orphaned and vulnerable 12-18 year old girls and boys.

Response From RYDA

Dear Doug,

l write to acknowledge the receipt of transfer of funds to the ryda account totalling to 4,880,000 Ugandan shillings after the bank fees. Mostly the funds have already been spent of exam materials and food essentials. We very grateful to our donor and supporters for their continued support to ryda activities. Special thanks singularity choir for their continued support over the years and many other donors. Also thanks for keeping sharing the ryda activities updated to supporters since 1996. We are very grateful for the endless love to ryda.

To St Margaret's uniting and Cowes, your continuous support is highly appreciated. May the Almighty God reward you, especially church members who spare some time to mobilize resources to ryda activities. Thanks you very much.

I have been sick for 2 years now without you all it would not have been possible. l am recovering steadily and am at home nursing the foot wounds. (See June news for details of Geoffrey's operation). l hope in two weeks I would've recovered. I look forward to the day l will meet the young people again. I have to pay a visit to see them. Synergies have to be built in the young people. All my life I've been with them. Many in community have been visiting me to share their concern.

Geoffrey Steven Kyeyune,
Executive Director
