Uganda 2010

Howdeeee partners,

this morning one team went to Mulago hospital whilst the others went to Compassion.

The team in the hospital had the opportunity to re-visit many of their patients. We were amazed to witness the fruits of our prayers. In particular, we returned to spend time with a severely malnurished young boy (14yrs) suffering from nasopharangeal cancer (nose & throat). Although he was very close to death at the start of this week, today he was free from pain with a normal temperature. He is now beginning to eat & engage well with people. God answers prayer!!!!!

The other team had a rewarding day at Compassion Ministries. We were asked to run three seminars to teenagers from the age of 12 -19yrs of age. Matthew & Rachel led a seminar on ‘The knowledge of God’, Ruth led a seminar on ‘The importance of study’, & finally Diana led a seminar on ‘Sexually Transmitted Diseases’. The teenagers interacted well with the sessions & we were pleased to have the opportunity to be part of this programme.

In the midst of our seminars, African t.v. arrived!!! The teenagers were given an important opportunity to share their views on children’s rights. Diana and Ruth were asked to speak in support of the children and back-up their views. (Was rather ‘eeek!’, but we were honoured to support them!)

We said our goodbyes to some of the patients at Mulago and Compassion children. This was an emotional experience where some hearts ached yet rejoiced at the privilege of meeting these wonderful people.

The team joined forces for a de-brief session back at our hideaway.

Blessings,

Uganda 2010.
