homeward bound


Signed, sealed and on the way to being delivered.  Art in the Park have parcelled up our Flock for its final journey back to Africa.  The first paper birds set out from the Equator in September last year, gathering companions along the way, and now the whole huge flock is flying back to Uganda.  It will land at Bright Valley School in Gulu for the enjoyment of the kids there.  Who could wish a flock more than a bright valley to settle in?

Art in the Park did a whip-round to raise the money for the stamps to send the birds south.  The Flock has been possible almost entirely thanks to people working as volunteers and chipping in with donations to keep it flying across the miles.  Many many thanks to all who have supported it along the way and wished it well.

If we can we will let you know what happens when the birds reach their final home.  In the meantime wagende obusinge: travel well.
