UK Erogans had a lovely time with Sr Kieran on Saturday with about 10 of us present including children and even a grandchild! It was great to see Sr Kieran looking so well and her usual engaging self. My camera did not take good photos - but I'm hoping the others present (Inutu Shampande, Yvonne etc) can share the photos they took on their cameras.

We briefly discussed projects to support for 2012-13 with Yvonne taking notes so hopefully we can follow this up into action. We have written out a cheque for the amount £600 drawn from the UK account to hand over to Sr Kieran. This account has been funded by the small monthly contributions of £5 from now four EROGA UK members who have kept up with contributions since the account was opened a few years ago. A big thanks to these ladies - I'm sure the £600 will go far in helping one of the Roma Girls projects.

We commented on how it was lovely to have "girls" from such a wide range of years (class 1979 - class 1990 something?) all mingling and talking about similar Roma Girls experiences. I think I underestimated the power of what Roma Girls has managed to nurture and nourish in those bonds that seem to defy the passing of time. How many schools - dare I say it globally even - have such a strong network of former students still actively communicating with each other? Wow - that is truly marvellous. And not only that - we have passed on the story and spirit of Roma Girls to our children too.   We commented on how our children know about EROGA and Roma Girls and for those here like to attend the events we host. Long may it last!

Thanks to Leontina for organising the venue. I was pleased that Leontina did not remember the incident that landed me and late Tangu Nkunika in trouble with the form 5's when we were inquisitive form1's wondering what the form 5 block 9(?) showers looked like. I'll say no more about that!
