An Announcement from the Management

To all friends who have or have not worked with us,

Please do not offer any financial help to anyone who claims to be working with KICVOP, unless you have consulted the management of KICVOP. We have received several cases of our former volunteers offering financial help to youngsters who claimed to be working with us. The money was in the end never recovered and wasted for some personal gains.

Please be also aware that KICVOP will not ask for any financial help from you either through the organisation or our employees. All people who are officially qualified to work with us have been listed on our website: www.kicvop.org

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Best regards,

Landon

An Unexpected Phone Call from Mrs King

As I was frustraing with the unstable internet. my phone rang. It was a familiar number from the UK, but I just could not figure out who would that be. With in a second after picking up the call, I got to know it was Mrs King, a long-time friend, teacher and mentor. My first response to her greating was, 'Mrs King, This is an international phone call, it is going to cost you a fortune!!,' she replied instantly, 'I want to hear your voice and make sure that you are ok'

She then started asking me all sorts of question relating to my staying in Kazo and even offered me to meet her niece living in Kampala. I was too grateful to accept any of her offers, but as always, she insists and I draw back in the end.

She promised to call me back very soon though I promised her to write her emails.

I was left wondering the whole evening if I would ever meet such a friend, a teacher and a mentor again.
