July 2022 Update

After a global pandemic forced our family to leave Uganda in 2020 and then a country-wide lockdown cancelled our trip last summer, Brian and I were finaly able to return to Uganda in June! During the two weeks we were in country, by the grace of God, we were able to develop a plan to support the community and school over the next four years! With the support of our amazing partners both in the US and Uganda, we will be able to expand the Economic Development project (family piggeries) and provide families with training from a Ugandan-based, farming training program. We would like to highlight the incredible leadership and work of Pastor David Balabyekubo (community leader, Pastor and Director of Divine Wisdom Jr School) as well as the four Divine Wisdom Jr School Social Workers. This 4-year plan will support over 200 families in Kiwungu. Brian and I will help coordinate communication and funding for these projects as well as monitor progess and challenges in the coming years from the US and through yearly trips to Uganda. You can read more about these projects on our other pages! FGW & Piggeries

We also had the gift during our time in Uganda to reconnect with Pastor David, his wife Florence and their kids, the teachers, old neighbors and two American families living and working in Uganda that we grew close with in 2019-2020.
