The Patsy Helm
Memorial Hotel Training School was officially opened by Rev. Fr.
Sylvester Dheyongera of the Diocese of Jinja on 12th February
2010. The simple ceremony was attended by the founders of Women in Need
(WIN), Fr. Alfonse Eppink and Ms. Tessa Sheaf.
The building was
purchased and refurbished with a very substantial donation from Dr.
Roger Helm and additional funding from SPICMA, Fr. Alfonse Eppink, Tessa
Sheaf and many other friends and well wishers.
The building is a
beautiful two storied house which has been converted to a Hotel and
Restaurant training school for young disadvantaged women. It comprises a
restaurant, bar, guest rooms, training kitchen, classroom, a dormitory
for the resident trainees and admin offices.
The facility now
employs an Administrator, Matron, two Instructors, a Bar & Restaurant
Supervisor and a Security Guard. On 7th April the students reported for
their first training session and were delighted with the facilities they
have been given. In a gesture of thanksgiving, they will include in
their prayers, the benefactors and friends at their Monday morning
Assembly. We wish them every success in their endeavors.  |
