Wow - it's so hard to be without internet! The "technician" came to the Sunset today and made some improvements. We'll see how long this lasts!
Yesterday, Team 2 made the 2-hour drive from Kampala to Jinja and went straight to the village of Kainagoga. This village has no partner. The school is in such shambles; it breaks my heart to see the conditions that these kids attempt to learn in. However, the joy that surrounds every face lets you forget about it temporarily. They are a precious group! We visited the classrooms, met with the sponsored kids and delivered their packets. We also left books with the P7 class and passed out uniforms for the soccer team. That put some smiles on some faces! They were thrilled! The guys played some football with them - and learned a few things. It was a great introduction to the kinds of things we will see the rest of the week. This team is awesome and I have no doubt they will change some lives this week. There were a lot of whole tilapia eaten last night! Most were in bed by midnight to get ready for a busy Saturday.

Thanks for taking pictures of the kids. Love the smiles on their faces. I'm not sure I've ever seen that big of a smile on Lydia's face :-) As always am enjoying your pictures and blogs. How awesome for the team to have been a part of the ceremonies on Saturday! Blessings to all of you for a safe and fulfilling trip!
