Hello Friends to my children :
Here is what went on and going on now
As l was telling you every now and then
Cory has made Bunabumali be known in Canada and and the whole World
Now the Day comes when l was to Pick Cory at the Airport which was planned and l did so of which we had to wait for Casey as well and she appeared at 24:00 hrs and then we had to travel to My house in Kampala where we had to spent the Night and three days then We had to go and meet Miracle who was a good friend to casey before she arrived in Uganda and from there Casey wanted to Buy Cellphone but then Cory said No Norman Give Casey one of your Cellphone instead of Buying the Phone that money we can use it buy food for the Children when we reach in Mbale Town which was my pleasure and Casey said it is fine there is No problem l did so and While we were in Kampala Gerald Tugume was with us in the House Miracle starts Telling Casey that Africans are not Trusted instead of Giving Norman and Gerald Money you will be Giving Me ( Miracle ) the Money so that l can be the Country Director for projects of Gerald and Norman That is what Gerald told me while l was buzy moving here and there to see that my Visitors have what to eat and stay safe as you know having visitors in the house, l for sure l told Gerald if that is the case l have no problem, Then As miracle was going with us to Bunabumali to shoot Videos for the project then we moved and l was very happy because my children were as well pleased.
But before Going to bunabumali we had to go and buy fabrics from Town of which when were in the stores the Man whom l had bought the fabrics worth Uganda shillings 770000 and l had paid him cash 300000 ug shs which cory had given Stopa Chrispher to give me from the Previous Years comes and says You ( Norman ) that am under arrest l say of what He tells me l had Not paid him his Money for the Fabrics l had taken l told him l paid and l have the Evidence so he hard lined and Cory paid him 235 Dollars and when l went to the banks were l send the money to His Account they have given me one week to get that Moeny back as there might have been an era in the Transfer of the Money that is what the bank manager told me in Mbale
Then we reached safely in Mbale town and and then proceeded to the project and we were welcomed by Rain as it was late the children had slept and some had gone home. Then the following Morning were welcomed by the Children and family members and every one was happy. So from that point l was then pleased children went to play with Casey.Cory.Miracle and Gerald and every body was happy.
Then we had Project meeting of Julius the Headteacher,Esther my sister,My father James,Sarah the teacher,Casey ,Miracle and Cory of which is was very well and during the Meeting Miracle had some words he was writing to the paper of Casey which l didnt know what he was telling her while we were meeting and after some few Minutes Casey and Miracle went outside and toured around the Village and we had to finish the meeting and Cory was pleazed having all the views said in the Meeting,
Then that Evening my Mother was mentally Sick and had to chase the visitors from the House l had to look in ways how to make visitors sleep well
What l did l talked to one of the Teachers to live the House and Casey with Miracle had to sleep in that room which was ok and I ( Norman) and cory had to sleep in one of the Classrooms with the Children which was ok, and it was wonderful then that evening Casey tells me that she is traveling to Rwanda with Miracle l told her it is fine and l told Cory l will be attending Meeting with the Chairperson of Bududa District Local Government of which matters to be discussed are vital to offer us the Cow for the project.
Then the Following morning l wake up and told my Headteacher Julius that let us go and attend the Meeting and as we were Going Casey and Miracle were also packing to leave for kampala l was not happy as well but l had nothing to do. Then Casey asks where the Camera was l told him it's in the charging Room where it was put and then she gets it from there l say to my daddy we have gone, Before going l hear Miracle says Norman Casey says she has lost her Money in the Room where she had slept l told Miracle How How?? how comes because you are only Tow People who have been sleeping in the Room one the same Bed of which No other person has Entered into that Room , Casey says the Money was there last Nifght and then in the Money she says The money is lost l asked Casey how much was the Money she says 50000 Uganda shs which is about 25 dollars l told her am not sure of how that money has got lost let me go for the Meeting and l went with the Headteacher of which we had nice meeting and when l came back my Daddy told me that Casey and Miracle had gone l said Nothing l can do. we stayed with Cory and l had to come to kampala because l had another meeting with the Local Government officers which l have finished
That's what l can say as fro Now
This will be my last communication with you as even your explanation contains lies and half truths, it is so sad that your children lose out because of your lack of integrity.
1. You saying that Miracle told me that Africans can't be trusted and that I should give him the money so he could be director is absolutely ridiculous. First,did you hear him say these things to me because I certainly don't remember such a conversation taking place. Miracle has his own money and certainly does not want my money. He is a film maker who has a very profitable job as a visual producer and took a leave so he could shoot and do some volunteer work to help the children. Why would he want to take money from the children who he came to help? Why would he want to leave his passion of film making to be a director of a school away from his family and friends. It makes absolutely no sense and such conversations never happened.
2. The issue of the camera happened a week earlier when Cory, Miracle and I left for Mbale town. Remember you were playing soccer with the children and said you put it in a safe place.
3. I was unaware that the use of your cell phone which I used for one week was a trade for food for the children. I am wondering why after we were arrived at your house the next day you handed me the price list from the market and I asked " would you like me to buy some of this? " You said " No I just wanted you to see the prices." I remember at the time thinking that was odd to hand someone a price list and claim it was only for me to look at. If you had asked me directly I would have purchased anything for the children. As you remembered I traveled a long way and incured many personal expenses to help the children. If they needed food I would have purchased it for them.
4. The message Miracle were passing during the meeting were notes about how things could be better for the children. I don't know why it is relevant considering we were all taking notes of what was being said.
5. As for the money being stolen, You never spoke to me at all as you claimed, Once I came down the hill and said my money was missing , you left without one word to me. Also, you have the amount that I apparently told you incorrect as it wasn't 50 000 but 75 000. If I did tell you the amount as you claimed why would I say the wrong amount. Your last few sentences talking about the conversation we had never took place.
6. If you purchased 770 000 and paid 300 000 wouldn't there be a balance owing? which is what the man in the fabric store was claiming that you hadn't paid the balance and he had tried every attempt to get ahold of you but had been unable to do so. The money was for hammocks and we arrive in Bunabumali to see cushions of the couch and Cory says" Norman is this the fabric for hammocks?' You say "NO" to which Cory says "well they are the same fabric, it's ok if it is." basically he was telling you it would be ok to be honest, however, you still claimed it wasn't. We find out the next day that it is. We also come to find out that no hammocks had been made eventhough Cory has been asking for pictures and you told him that you made 8 hammocks yourself. In the meeting we come to find out that no hammocks were ever made from the fabric as you claimed.
I cant tell you how dissapointed I am that this has turned out this way. I really wanted to help the children but without trust you have nothing.
To everyone else reading this messages I am very sorry to involve you in this private issue but since Norman included you all in the 1 st message, I felt as though I needed to explain the situation for all to understand.
Irene, I wasn't able to leave you the wine you had requested me to bring and leave at the house for you.
