Uganda aftermath


This is a great story we would like to share with you:

When Barbara Cameron, a medical student from Australia was in Uganda for the Network: TUFH conference last year she visited the Kampala women's prison with a young English lawyer who was working to get health clinics and libraries into East African prisons. The prison itself was pretty horrid. Lots of malaria HIV TB etc. Babies stayed with their mothers until the mother was executed. They had little food and needed milk.

After Barbara got back she told the Legal Aid lawyers in Newcastle and they raised money to buy a cow to provide milk for the prisoners and their children. Got a Fresian because of higher milk production than the local cows.
The attached photo is Pasha Bulcow being handed over at Kampala Women's Prison. The cows name comes from Pasha Bulka, the name of the ship which was washed up on Newcastle Beach, Australia during the huge storms last June.
