Philp Munaawa

At long last, NOTDEC UK has a Ugandan Trustee.  Like the buses, we've waited all this time, then two came along together.  Philp & Faith were born and raised in Uganda, so they must have a better grasp of Ugandan needs & norms than the rest of us.  Philip & Faith married in 2008, and came to the UK in 2009 to do Masters degrees.  They now have two school-aged children and live in Leamington Spa - exactly where the Lord needed them to serve as NOTDEC UK Trustees!

Philip is a Software Engineer - exactly the IT-savvy individual that NOTDEC UK needs to get us sharing key documents via the cloud - and doing it properly! 

First stop was to set up cloud storage for all our minutes, policy documents, and confidential GDPR data & permissions.  But next came the huge ongoing task of storing the detailed information on all of the children - birthday, how they came to NOTDEC, health records, year-by-year photographs, school reports, vocational training or further education, details of any family, etc.  For 150+ kids that's LOTS of data.

But  Philip is also steering us in our development of this website.  Our early work was probably too ambitious - assembling truckloads of information that we did not have the resources to maintain and update.  Now we have a better idea of what is required.  But we also need Philip to guide us on HOW we do it.

It's a big job!
