However, we understand that most of you are already switched to holiday mode, so we will not write many words, but to wish you all a happy Christmas and a very enjoyable new year. On a personal note, I would like to wish Rotarian Henry Ssentoogo a safe passage home from England where he has been on treatment after surgery. He is expected to travel home today, 12th December.
