- [Last Weekend in Uganda](https://foundationforhospice.org/2019/08/05/last-weekend-uganda/) - This was my last weekend in Uganda, so I tried to make the most of these last two “free days.” On Saturday, I went to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens and walked around a little bit.

- [New Roommate, New Adventures](https://foundationforhospice.org/2019/07/19/new-roommate-new-adventures/) - The past few days have not been too busy at PCAU. I have finished my documentation project for the moment, so Mark (PCAU's Programs Manager) has been giving me some other projects to work on.

- [Road to Hope Success Story](https://foundationforhospice.org/2019/07/08/20710/) - I wanted to start out this update by letting you all know that there was NOT a rat in my kitchen like I said in my last post!

- [The End Has Come!](https://foundationforhospice.org/2017/02/08/the-end-has-come/) - It's hard to believe that this is my last day in the office. I can assure you, the PCAU staff works hard. Things do not flow as smoothly as they do in the U.S. and I sometimes wonder how I would cope with working here over a long period of time. I acknowledge that I
- [Last Week in Uganda!](https://foundationforhospice.org/2017/02/03/last-week-uganda/) - February 3, 2019 – My weekend has been busy, and I'll only summarize some highlights!

It sounded like they were beating a tin can with a

The children began arriving yesterday afternoon and early evening. We had introductions and some warm up activities and then something to eat. You can tell they enjoy seeing each other.

I'm in Amsterdam and relaxing a bit into between flights. I think I always say it's hard to leave Uganda and friends. Keeping up with the wonderful progress of PCAU and being a part of encouraging the staff and working with them is
- [Baptism](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/05/07/baptism/) - May 7, 2018 – Last night it rained heavily and I feared that the driver picking me up for the baptism would be late – or worse, just not show up.

- [Children Arriving](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/05/04/children-arriving/) - May 4, 2018 – I thought I'd take this chance to get off a quick note. Today is Friday and the children are already arriving in town. When a group arrives they will be transported to the Conference Center where they'll all eventually gather. As most of you know the Conference Center is off Entebbe
- [Labor Day in Uganda](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/05/01/labor-day-uganda/) - May 1, 2018 – Today is a public holiday here in Uganda – Labor Day. The PCAU office was closed, but many places remain open. It means "business" for many shopkeepers. As I was out and about it looked like a "normal" week day, but the traffic was lighter early in the day. I have
- [Arrived "Home"](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/04/29/arrived-home/) - Apr. 29, 2018 – My travels went well and I arrived in Entebbe on time, but going through customs and immigration is getting longer.

- [The Land God Painted Green!](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/04/28/land-god-painted-green/) - Apr. 28, 2018 – I am once again off to Uganda, sitting in the Airport in Amsterdam. The decision to come was rather "unplanned" until several weeks ago when I learned the exact dates of the Road to Hope Children's Camp. Since they don't interfere with another commitment I have later in May I decided
- [Final Days](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/02/05/18469/) - Feb. 5, 2018 – Once again, thank you for your interest in my latest journey to Uganda.

Dianah accompanied me, and it
- [Leadership Retreat Ends](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/25/leadership-retreat-ends/) - Jan. 25, 2018 – We saw the children off this morning, each to their own Districts. Some will travel for 10 hours on a bus or taxi. They were "bright" and energetic at 8:00 A.M. but I imagine most of them are sleeping on their way home. Once meeting these teens you can't forget them.
- [Overcoming Challenges](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/31/overcoming-challenges/) - Jan. 31, 2018 – It's mid-week of my final week in Uganda.

- [Leadership Retreat](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/24/18447/) - Jan. 24, 2018 – This will be brief. The camp is still going on into the night – because you know teens have more energy than me. Rose and I left after this second day around 7:30 after a closing and a cake!

- [Never a Dull Day!](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/22/never-dull-day/) - Jan 22, 2018 – It has been awhile since I have communicated. There is never a dull day. They are active and filled with interactions with good people. Last Friday we had a final meeting for the Empowerment Retreat which begins today, Monday. I met the two main facilitators for the retreat from an organization
- [Full Days – and Surprises](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/16/full-days-surprises/) - Jan. 16, 2018 - Already it seems like I have been here longer than a couple of days! They have been full days,as usual – along with some surprises. Yesterday late afternoon, after arriving home from the office I had a couple of visitors. One of the children who Tom and I, along with Christy and Ron Brewers, sponsor through
- [Uganda!](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/15/uganda/) - Jan. 15, 2018 - All of you should know by now that when I use this "salutation" for a letter it's regarding a trip to Uganda. I usually find time to write prior to leaving, but the days prior were a bit hectic and –here I am in Uganda, and already at work in the
- [To Meat, or not to Meat](https://foundationforhospice.org/2016/01/18/meat-not-meat/) - Jan. 18. 2018 - Last week at this time I was finalizing my packing for my travels – The time goes by fast!
