From Uganda with Love
This site has been created to keep our friends and family up to date with our where abouts and happenings while we're in Uganda.
We leave San Diego on Monday, November 30 at 9am and arrive in Uganda at 9pm on Tuesday night. This is our second trip to Uganda to work with Pastor Stephen Kibirango on behalf of San Diego based, Children's Heritage Foundation.
Over the next 30 days we will be photographing and interviewing 100 children to create sponsorship profiles. We will take 350 update photographs of the children already sponsored. All 350 children will hand make a Christmas card to send to their sponsor. The trip will also include teaching seminars for the schools teachers and a leadership development conference for many of the local pastors and leaders. We are also creating a "Uganda through their eyes" photo school, and we're hoping to use the children's photos in a Spring 2009 art gallery. A San Diego local coffee shop owner will be traveling with us, he will be working to fair trade certify their coffee farm and making preparations to purchase the first harvest for roasting and selling in San Diego. Finally, our church, Citywalk, has purchased a new keyboard that we are taking as a gift, and we are delivering over 50 articles of clothing from our shirts and skirts drive.
And I'm sure many un-known adventures lie ahead too. We go to serve and be a blessing, but we know that it will be us that truly recieve.
Oh, I almost forgot. We will spend many hours with our lawyer and in the courts finalizing the adoption process of our son, Perez. We can't wait for you to meet him, he's the best!
