Uganda is such a green country, specially in vegetation. But there is also life and growth in the spiritual atmosphere. Living with the children at Busota, was challenging but also very fun. Staying with 40 other girls in a house that didn't have walls all the way up to the roof - didn't always give good nights of sleep..... if something happened in one end - it would be heard in the other end..... leaving the rest of that to your imagination LOL We had times where the children needed discipline (imagine that), and that is not always easy to do, one on one, when the culture is – “something is happening lets go look what it is” ...... cultures are different and we need to take that into consideration. Getting water at the borehole down the road was always something. They ran to find a gerican, and then go fast or run so that they could have time to play when the others filled their gericans. Children are so alike when it comes to play..... Leaving the orphanage was hard, but I was ready to move on - not in a bad way - just because I knew it was time. The children have changed so much during the time there. From being shy to come running toward us when we came, and give us hugs. It’s huge.Many things have happened on the property, and a lot of buildings have been built - 2 new homes, 1 dorm for the girls and another for the boys. They have also built 2 school building, new latrines and showers. By now the school is done, and the children are all excited about the new Kasozy Primary School. They will have new uniforms, shoes and stockings. God is so cool.
After leaving the orphanage, Duncan Hill whom is the founder of UoF, had met someone on his way over to Uganda - and it was another divine connection. He got introduced to a person that has huge influence in Pader district - and had a meeting with him. This resulted in that the team I was a part of went up to Pader 3 days before we all were supposed to leave Uganda. The place we went to is the same place that I went to in the beginning of my stay in Uganda. Interesting !!!! I was able to meet some of my friends there, which was very good.
One of them has a daughter that had had diarrhea for 1 month - I prayed for her and then they left. The next day I went over to say hi and buy (since we were leaving) and guess who was outside playing.... the little girl. She didn't have any problems at all...Glory to God
