It's been an intense 5 days since I arrived in Ddwaniro. We've stuck to the itinerary pretty closely and excluding one or two post-lunch naps, it's been a sun-up to sun-down affair. |
I have arrived safely in Kampala! Thank you, Lord, for safety once again. Anytime I look out the window at 40,000 ft (or whatever we fly at), I appreciate His protection. Paul greeted me right on time and we made it right on schedule back to the house. We had a nice evening catching up and taking a late tea and I was even able to complete my Econ homework assignment using Paul's interent modem. This morning, I overslept by 45 minutes, but now we're in full swing.
I'm sitting in my living room with the evidence of last minute preparations strewn about. I just printed the last of the hard copy documents I think I'll need and I'm about to seal up my computer in my carry on. At 3:30pm I'll leave on my second trip to Uganda for 2010.
Executive Director Kyle Douglass leaves on May 29, 2010 to Uganda for two weeks, returning June 12. The finalized itinerary is included below as a document and here as web page (click here).
Project Overview
Project Description
Kyle is traveling to Uganda from May 28. He would greatly appreciate your prayer support!
The objectives of the trip are:
During Kyle's visit to Glory of Christ in Ddwaniro, Uganda, in February 2010, we reviewed a number of proposals and the addition of water tanks for safe water for the school was among those given priority. This project helps us meet our Health objective, which is to provide clean water, adequate nutrition and basic medical care to every member of the community. The project was proposed on February 1, 2010 and was completed April 12, 2010. The project cost 11,691,000 UGX (approximately $6,000) and the community contributed bricks and labor.
I'm in Kyotera right now. Don't really need to be, but here I am. Funny story, though. I get a call from Paul during the morning STS training (which is incredible and amazing and will be a powerful tool for Glory of Christ Church). The airline won't let him take John and Kelly's bags because we didn't give him an authorization letter to act on their behalf. Okay, a little bothersome but understandable.
The shrill laughter of about twenty kids has just died down as I start this post. After a long day of worship and meetings (my kind of day), we took tea back at the pastor’s house, then played with some of the local kids who kept peeking in the door. Kelly (of the John and Kelly Sanders duo) took the lead with about 10 minutes of copy cat. We then took it up a level and tried Uganda-fying Duck Duck Goose. We went for Chicken Chicken Cow (or “enkooko enkooko entay”).
