Thanks out of Africa to Birmingham salon Hair for Them

Jun 10 2008 Submitted by Martine Laffan

A BIRMINGHAM hair salon had a visit from a grateful African priest to say thank you for giving a Ugandan child a head start in life.

Father Sunday from the Apostles of Jesus Missionaries at Bukinda Seminary in Uganda, visited Hair for Them in Hagley Road, Edgbaston, to thank staff for their support in sponsoring one of their pupils, Wassaja Kennedy.

Hair for Them have been sponsoring Wassaja for 18 months and continue to do so as he comes ever closer to taking his 'O' Levels in October this year in Bukinda,  south west Uganda.

Father Sunday expressed sincerest thanks and appreciation on Wassaja's behalf and on behalf of all at the seminary, explaining how educational sponsorship makes a difference to not only the individual pupils but also their families and the wider community.

Hair for Them write to Wassaja regularly with encouragement and support in his studies and feel privileged in being able to make that difference to Wassaja and his community
