Uganda – 22, 2009 (Lina Sibert)

Fast forward to today:
The Parable of the Sower keeps invading my mind. Our trip to Uganda was a blessing. Many seeds were scattered by our ultimate sower. What kind of soil are we? I feel as we reenter the world of luxury, convenience, disposable everything and demands on our time, and energy, [...]

This is actually a blog that was written on June 1, 2009, but sometimes things get in the way we have not control over. So here it is:

We are moving in African time. We started the day with big plans that changed as the day progressed. What a privilege and honor to [...]

“You can mop !”
Access to internet has been a challenge, thus the long break since we last wrote.
The time in Kaihura for me was a time of reconnecting with people who I love so much. The children are growing up. Victor speaks in full sentences and James could be featured as a Pillsbury Boy, [...]

Uganda – June 22, 2009 (Victoria Oliver)

We have been in Agape Children’s Village for a few days now and it is different than Kaihura, to say the least. As soon as my feet hit the ground I met a girl named Joyce (Coincidence? Haha.) who told me to stay in House 4. There are eight houses all together here. These houses [...]

Yesterday, after church and lunch, most of the group went to Kampala to a craft fair. It was a very bumpy and dusty ride, so dusty that my sinus cavities collected more dust than was good for them and every time I blew my nose out came a lot of dust! When we [...]

Many changes in the trip came during this past week, all of them changing the atmosphere of the trip. As we said good bye to our friends in Kaihura, we welcomed the second team, who refreshed us, and brought new perspectives, and now in Agape the work is beginning.

Every Child a Story
Meet Joseph. He is 17 and has been here at Agape Children’s Village since he was 12. I call him “Mr. Winner,” as he lost numerous card games of African Uno to the mzungus (foreigners) the first night we were here, complaining all the time (with good humor) that it [...]

It’s been a while since I last sat down to write for the blog, but a lot has happened in that time. We finished our work in Kaihura and bid farewell to our friends there. It was a long drive on Friday to reach Agape Children’s Village (about 45 minutes out of Kampala) but we [...]

June 18, Thursday from Faith’s Home on the beautiful rolling hills of Kahuira. Today we are having nice thundershowers in the afternoon. The morning was clear and we walked up to Dorcus, the vocational school that has been built six of years ago. It has a terrific view of the valley with plantan [...]

Uganda – June 22, 2009 (Evan Holland)

Alright mom here I go before you “or else” me. Uganda is amazing and has been a much different experience from last year. As most of you know we have nearly finished building a fence around the school. I was a digger and a mixer. We also are working on painting the lower building of [...]
