Sue and John Gasston are volunteer missionaries in Uganda and are on their way back to the country after a short stay in Ross.

They wil be taking with them as many bags as they are allowed, containing clothes, medical supplies and other donations which they have collected during their time in Ross. This will help them continue their work there.

Sue said:?“We take as much as we can but the easiest and best thing to take is money as we can buy the things the people need in Uganda, it is just they have no money.”

Working for the charity Equipe Global they are running a vocational training school, Meranatha Gateway, on the Sesse Islands. They also oversee a child sponsorship programme which currently supports 100 children and they have established links between four Ugandan primary schools and several UK schools.
