Team Uganda,

Be sure you check Leslie's suitcase before you leave as she has a tendency to want to pack some of those young beautiful children in her luggage. And who could blame her with those adorable smiles. Thanks for all you are doing to out those smiles on their faces.

Why am I NOT surprised to see a photo of Leslie holding a baby!! NO, Leslie, it is NOT OK to just smuggle one home with you! Come and visit Evan in Whitby instead...
Continue the great adventure in Uganda! Enjoy!

What a moving post about the parents. We often talk in North America about our children returning home but in Uganda their lives are so different when their grandchildren come because parents are dead or dying. from here we see the smiling happy faces and feel good about our donations, your view sees much more.
Still you make a difference and so can we with our donations.

Brian Newstead said...

Hello Team Uganda - With a special hello to Team Leader Leslie,
I'm really enjoying reading the excellent reports from each distribution point, and looking at the great pictures that accompany the reports. Glad to see Leslie made it into both pictures on the May 30th report.
Keep up the great work as you enter the last half of the Ugandan distribution trip.
Brian

Greetings Team Uganda and beautiful Ladies of the Inner Wheel!
I cannot begin to tell you how much I am enjoying all your wonderful postings, pictures and adventures...all giving truth to Winston Churchill's observation that Uganda is indeed the 'Pearl of Africa'...and...each of you and those beautiful children are indeed the precious jewels! I have so many treasured memories of my time spent there!
Please give special hugs to those beautiful ladies for me!
Enjoy...Be safe!

great follow up on the cheers for school books. It pulls at my heart to read about the children and families their realities and needs from thousands of kilomters away, I can not imagine the empathy that you must have with those families as you distribute more than 6000 bed kits. Great work and thank-you.

Wilma Molinaro said...

Thanks for the latest photos and update. It is good to be able to read about the history of the area. Beautiful countryside photos....

You are all doing such wonderful compassionate work! Thank you for all of the work you are doing and continue to do, I can sense the heart and passion put into this trip! The impact it has on the families who are on the receiving end of your hard work must be astronomical, and for that you can't be thanked enough!

Hope you all continue to have safe travels!

Thanks for the descriptions and photos of the Uganda countryside which show so vividly the conditions you encounter on the distributions. Memories of bumpy roads will fade but those of happy children singing and dancing will stay with you always. Thanks for sharing.
