Arrived in Uganda!

Hey – sorry my blog has been so behind! We have had limited internet access both in Cairo and in Uganda. But anyways, I’m now in Uganda and it feels so incredibly great to be back!

Right now we are staying at the Eagle Wings Children Village which is similar to an orphanage. The children live, sleep, eat, and go to school on the campus. It is run by a retired couple from Manitoba, and they are both such amazing individuals. They are so genuine, friendly and welcoming and it’s been such a pleasure getting to know them.










We are staying in the guest house (just down the street from the school) with a middle aged couple as well as a young girl with her brand new baby daughter, Grace. Of course Erin, Megan and I are all fighting over who gets to hold the baby. The other night the baby fell asleep in my arms, I was tempted to sneak her into my bag and keep her.

The rest of the time we have been journaling, singing, talking and getting to know the staff and family. At 4pm we go up to see the kids because school is done, we play with them until it’s their supper time. And then we return at about 7pm to worship in the classrooms with them. Ohh and this is probably one of the most amazing sights to see! Not even kidding! All these kids totally glorifying God despite the fact that none of them have parents and most have had a horrific childhood including abuse and neglect. It just breaks my heart to hear some of their stories, but I’m so happy that Bill and Anne have opened this orphanage for them.
