Touching Base

It has been a couple of days since I had a chance to write to you, but I have been thinking of you as I move from activity to activity! The Children’s Camp ended early afternoon on Saturday. I have to admit the days were very busy and it was a challenge to do everything...

Road to Hope Camp is Here!

This will be quick, but I want to say, I did not go swimming last night! Rose picked me up along with her neighbor and we went to the pool, but thankfully her neighbor was not keen on swimming. I had to admit I was tired and hungry so we opted for getting some chips (French fries)...

Final Preparations for Road to Hope Camp

My friend, co-worker at PCAU and compound neighbor started up her own business several months back to supplement her income. She was anxious for me to see “her shop” so we stopped by on our way home from the office last night. She has a delightful young woman working for her who lives with her...

Beginning a New Ugandan Adventure

I am once again on a “Ugandan adventure!” I was busy leading up to my leaving and failed to take time to tell you of my plans, but many of you know I will always take the opportunity to return to what I consider “my second home.” I’m so thankful to have been on one...

Last Week in Uganda!

February 3, 2019 – My weekend has been busy, and I’ll only summarize some highlights! I’m up early today after hearing Saint Mary Kevin School waking up the boarding students (5:30 A.M.) who have already arrived to begin another school year here in Uganda. It sounded like they were beating a tin can with a...

End of the Day!

January 31, 2019 – My day is coming to an end. I feared the week would be slow since the ending of the camp, but that’s been far from true! Yesterday I went with Rose to Mulago School of Nursing in Kampala. The educators who had been in training to teach students in the Advanced...

Children’s Camp

January 30, 2019 – Let me just say I’m not going to complain to you about being too hot here in Uganda! Sorry! I wish we could send you some heat. I hope all of you are keeping warm and remaining safe. We are thinking of you! I’ll send some pictures of the Children’s Camp...
