Farewell Noelle....We will miss you.

Hello every one. How are you all? I hope this edition finds you well. We the C.V family, it was a moment of mixed feelings. A time when we celebrate Noelle’s time in Africa but also on the other side, feeling sad because we are going to miss her.

It is about 2 years from the time Noelle alongside Javis co founded Cornerstone Veritas. We would like to thank Noelle for the time she spent in Uganda, especially to see C.V get even better. Her efforts have not been in vain for sure.

 She already had a family...we will miss you Mama.

 Benard,Yololim, Edmond,Carol, Patricia and Bosco..we love you,

I should say that several individuals and organizations have been blessed by Noelle’s work in Africa. After learning our Ten Principles of Leadership course, C.V always got positive feedback. For example in Masaka, she trained a community (Holy Trinity Community) that deals in crafts and they reported a drastic increase in their profits.

All most all the Cornerstone Veritas staff and interns have been mentored by Noelle. She has seen two groups of interns go through internship with C.V. What she mainly did is make the interns practice the Ten Principles of Leadership they learned while at high school. This has always been a good activity to keep the students in vacation busy as they wait to join university.

She has been not only a mother but also a mentor to the C.V interns. She easily identifies when someone has something bothering them and takes time to find out. She has been a source of encouragement and help to C.V interns.

 Edmond and Frank already miss you.

We had an open house time together at her apartment on 31^st May. Friends, work mates and interns from Cornerstone Development and others around Kampala visited her to wish her a safe journey. It was a moment of fun. We played games, cracked jokes and enjoyed lots of food.

As much as Noelle left Uganda and Africa in general, the seeds of societal transformation that she planted will never die. Various communities and groups have adopted some of the leadership material that we teach into their curriculum. A number of people have also been trained as teachers and can therefore teach others with supervision and coordination of Cornerstone Veritas. These groups are scattered all over the country such as: Jinja and Emmaus Soroti in Eastern Uganda, Masaka in the west, Arua and Gulu in the North, Kampala and Luwero in central Uganda.

 The First borne lot.....Just saying Good bye Noelle.

Once again…we wish her the best in the next step she is taking in life. May all your dreams come true Noelle. We will miss you as the C.V family. Blessings.
