2020 - another visit

Paul came back again to help the guys in Kenya move forward and to help us maintain our momentum.  We made big plans but he arrived back in the UK three days before the UK locked down for Covid and then it hit us so our progress stalled a little - things are moving again now though.  This was a very productive visit and we look forward to building on it.

2019 - Paul comes back

We were delighted to welcome Paul back.  By now Paul was head of Global VX.  During this visit Mr Isaac Ssekamwa agreed to be the patron of VX Uganda and we established VX in Lugazi.  Paul ran more coaching courses, ran taster sessions and visited an orphanage that we are hoping to support.  This visit also tied in with a visit to our friends in Kenya who were keen to establish VX in Kenya
