Short post today. But I wanted to give you an update and a few pictures to show you what's happening. Today we visited two CarePoints, Kayango and Nabukalu in Bugiri. We also visited a potential CarePoint in Torroro. It was a very productive day.

The development at Kayango is exciting to see. The community of Kayango is invested in the process and has played a large role in the planning and building taking place. Our country director Joseph has purchased as many of the building materials as possible from the community. He has used local labor for a majority of the work. The community has taken ownership of the project and truly is committed to the work!

Here are a few photos of the development taking place at Kayango:

Things are improving for the children that we minster to here in Uganda. I had the priveledge to help sort and address letters that are going to be delivered to the US. As I read them I was amazed to read how many of the children stated that they have seen a lot of changes and how grateful they were to their sponsor. The really cool thing is that the thing that they were most thankful for wasn't the physical provision, it was the relationship. The letters that you are sending to your sponsored child mean more than you know. My encouragement to you is to keep it up. Send more. You can send them directly through the HopeChest website. I know that it takes work, but what relationship doesn't?

Tomorrow is our last full day here, we still have much to do. I am thankful for the time that I have gotten to spend here. We have a great team on the ground and they are working hard to see the children of Uganda reached for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
