July 2023 Update
In July our family of four was able to travel back to Uganda - it was the first time Carson and Aliana were back in the village since we had to leave suddenly at the beginning of the pandemic. It was a sweet reunion for them with many of their friends and we also were able to see updates to the project work that has been going on, and provide a teacher training at the school! Updates on our current initiatives:
Economic Development - supporting 8 community savings groups that have now been registered with the local government. Groups are saving until the new year (2024) and then the funds saved will be matched by Cornerstone Church in Boulder, CO.
Farming God's Way - supporting local training in the methods of farming that will produce higher yields (when compared to traditional methods) and hopefully reduce starvation in the community when harvest season comes.
Divine Wisdom Jr. School - supporting the school with teacher training and building construction as the school continues to grow.
Enjoy a few of our photos from the trip!
