Back from the Farm

Hi! We have had a fabulous week on the family empowerment farm in rakayata village near Masindi. All went amazingly well and we have been very blessed! Thanks for the prayers! They sure have carried us and those we have met along the way. Next stop is seeing crippled Roger and then on our way to Kayunga to meet up with Kenny's brother Prichard and the second montana team from AIDSpirit. The internet is terrible so will write again when possible..

Here are a few posts from the team....

\hello every one...what a great experience....the people the country Richard and Susan are terriffic \hosts....they have taken care of all of us...\nadine is a great organizer...\love to all Carol ie jaja..

Greetings from the Oregon group!--

Words cannot grasp the incredible experience we have had in Masindi at Canaan Farm. Beyond all the troubles and strife the families have faced, they are amazingly warm, happy and beautiful people. We are all honored to have met such strong and inspiring folk.

We are also thankful for having this experience to build our nursing foundation on. The Montana group has been wonderful teachers and letting us participate in health care. It is so fortunate that we all clicked so well and were able to work well together. Although we are parting ways (Oregon is off to Fort Portal to work with orphaned children), this is certainly not the last time we will be together...

Hello all this is Brenda. Time is flying by here. You know how they say time fly's when u r having fun. We have been doing LOTS of very rewarding work. But also have been having an experience of a lifetime. We have prepared and planted gardens and completed them with drip irrigations, have built biosand filters and treated many sick people. We have left the farm today and are now starting second phase of mission. Have so many stories to share but will stay brief for now.

Leigh here.... emailing from Africa seems to be a big challenge, so I will say a quick hello to everybody. Uganda is an amazing country filled with beautiful countryside and beautiful people. I can't wait to share all our pictures when we can!! I hope all is happy and healthy at home, and I have to say I am not missing the cold weather. Hugs to all.

More from the rest later....will post this before the power goes down!

Love to all, \nadine
