Charitable Nottingham University Alumni

Today Dr. Masibo Lumala met with Mr Alexander Mclean, the founder and Director of African Prisons Project (http://www.africanprisons.org/). Alexander is an alumnus of the University of Nottingham just like Masibo is.

Together they talked about Upendo Junior Shool and African Prisons Project. In particular, Mr. Mclean was keen to know the funding challenges Dr. Masibo is currently facing and also to share his experience at APP. After an hour's discussion, it was agreed that Masibo sends him more information. He also indicated that in spite of his busy schedule, he would try and set aside at least two hours a month for Upendo. Dr. Masibo expressed interest to work with APP and to integrate children of prisoners at Upendo Junior School. He also hopes to be taking children to visit prisoner-parents at Kitale Prisons and to help integrate back into community ex-convicts within the Kiminini Community.

The meeting was attended by Coloel Zur Kredo who is accompanying Alexander on his trip to Uganda. Zur was full of ideas on how Upendo can strengthen her fundraising and also how we can work with APP once they get registered in Kenya.
