“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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, we just heard that the Kintons were granted guardianship over Rose! They are at court in Fort Portal. Now they just need a ruling, a passport, and a visa and then they’ll be done. We are in Agape now and I love it. Mommy and [...]
