We will be leaving for Uganda in 2 months, I can hardly wait. I start planning my return trip as soon as I get back! This year I am already planning my return trip before I leave! I wish this is what I did for a living. Why did it take me until I was 50 years old to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up.
This year I am bringing totes instead of suit cases. They will be able to use the totes to store food to protect them from bugs.
1 tote is packed. 100 bag packs, (300 more needed) 200 malaria test kit, 200 typhoid test kits, 400 pens, 400 pencil sharpeners, 232 pencils (168 more needed). Knitted babies (I lost count).
Coloring books,colored pencils, folders, scissors.
We leave Sunday Morning at 8:00 am
7:00 Monday morning September 30 we arrive- shopping day. Food and gifts for the children and home visits.
Tuesday -Friday we will go to Bakka - This is the most intense joy anyone could imagine seeing my 400 dearly loved children! They are all in my heart and prayers every day! School and home visits! We will visit with Winnie's family my number one goal during this visit is to get her back! We will visit Justine's home and Nelco's and Steven Madadas.

June Update
I had to start this review with what has been accomplished,
the month of June has been tough. The
news I have received this month made me
very sad and helpless. When we provided free medical care I wondered what we would
learn about the children’s health. What
lies beneath the surface.
3 Families have been
identify HIV positive. 2 young children ages 4 and 5 and 2
moms. We suspect that it is 3 moms but
one has refused to be tested. The
treatment is free, we will provide transportation to there appointments and
food for the family~ $20.00 per month. I
am very afraid that this is just the beginning of what we will learn.
When the nurse at Show Mercy suspected a young child was HIV positive, we asked the mother
to have her tested. Her Mom did not want to have her tested, she did not want
to know. We counseled her and guided her to make the right decision. When she learned she was HIV positive and her
young daughter was too, she was inconsolable. A desperate situation has become
unbearable.
I wish I was there,
to hold them and let them know that God loves them deeply and will see them
through.
Children were treated
for jiggers, but it was more difficult than expected. The children did not want to be identified as
having jiggers, they would be teased. Show Mercy came to pick up the children
on Tuesday, none of the children with jiggers would come out of class. The staff at Show Mercy recognized the
problem. Thursday when they returned to
CMA, they brought teddy bears to give the children that had jiggers. 12 children came forward, receiving a teddy
bear was worth the teasing.
We also learned of a young girl almost bleed to death from a botched abortion, her uterus was removed. She will miss an entire year of school. It is not uncommon practice to use young
girls to generate income.
Moving Day
Some things take time,
Steven Maddada and family will be moving into a new safer home. We identified that the house they were living
in was not safe during our visit.
We provided a first month and security deposit so they could move last November. A new home was found this week.
Our trip is planned
for September 29 – October 7th
Every child will receive a gift. ~110 gifts already provided @$10.00 a piece.
We will provide a special meal at the school $1,200 @$3.00
per child
September 14th
Hosting “A Taste of Uganda”

the cost of the trip. ~$3,000.00 per
