Back from the farm and onto Kayunga with the children sponsored by Billings families via AIDspirit, partners in Uganda with Kenny's brothers organization Tender Mercies outreach ministries....we were greeted by 10 children singing sad songs of loss and no parents who care...and there was not a dry eye! Bio-sand training, village teaching ensued and we hope for the deep water well to be drilled Monday, more village training on healing with clean water, bio-sand filters, village clinic, sickle cell clinics etc...all is sooo good and today was a day of rest and fun in Jinja!
Here goes from the team...
Hello once again. This is Brenda.Cant describe the experience in Africa. Will start work again in early am doing village teaching and clinics tomorrow afternoon. Will post more later.
Hello, this is Tom and Jean from AIDSpirit Montana and to say we are having a wonderful time is a mild understatement! We arrived in Kayunga onm Wed and we were greeted by several smiling faces of the wonderful children many of you sponsor. I took little time for Jean and I to choose our child, Rachel and make her ours. Se was rescued from a very hostile environment and she is now safe at Terder Mercies. Today Jean and I went shopping for her and tomorrow we will take her to the clinic for a check-up. Please keep praying for us as we do the work that we came here to do on your behalf.

Dave here...can't believe I leave in 3 days! The experience has been incredible...from Richard and Susan and the kids on the farm, the Oregon nurse team, the Billings team, and especially the People in Africa that I have met and am working with ! I love this place and need to figure out how to get back here....
Had a down day in Jinja .. paddled on the Nile River for a half day ...ran class 5 rapids - one flip but what a great trip!
Walked around Jinja this afternoon and shopped (as much as I could shop!). Heading back to Kayunga early tomorrow to oversee the borehole....hopefully everything goes as planned...
That is all for now...Peace
Dave
