Animals in Uganda


1-Achole long horn cattle, they are everywere and I love them.
2-Female Bush Buck.
3-Impala.
4-Zebra.








Traveling the road to Kamwege


Harvesting the tea by hand. Acres and acres if tea.
This is how they deliver milk to the processing plants. They use bicycles to deliver everything! I even saw someone delivering a broken bike on the back of another bike.
Delivering banana's to town. They will make numerous trips in a day.





Pictures from the medical clinic

These photos are of the medical clinic that I helped with in a town outside of Kamwenge, it was held in a local church. Over 150 people came to be treated while I was there.


1.'Giving out the eye glasses' (it was actually a photo opp.!) The glasses will be given out later by the doctor.

2.Everyone there also got a pill for deworming.

This is the doctors office.





Mango Tree Kids

This is Idah and her husband handing out the clothes to the Mango Tree Kids. They sang for me and danced for me. The other photo is Maria and Jude, I don't think they knew each other before this day. They go to different schools and live on opposite sides of town.


Maria and me

This is the other child we support. That is her stepmother next to her with her youngest son in front of their home. Of course the other two people in the picture is me and the Honorable Idah! Loreli had knit a pretty pink scarf for her and she was absolutely thrilled with it. She wore it with her new purple dress to see the rest of the Mango Tree Kids get the other things I had brought with me for them.

Pictures from Kamwenge


Hello, I am safely home and have gotten my pictures all on the computer here. I am thankful for all your prayers. The trip went well, but I have a cold and it always takes a while to re-adjust to being back in the states. So, I will go back in time and add some more pictures while I relax today.
This is Idah Mehenge and Jude, one of the children we support through 'Party for Uganda'. He is an orphan in the Mango Tree Kids from Idah's Parents Concern ministry in Kamwenge. I was able to see him again and visit him, and his uncle at their home. He was excited to meet me again, but a bit overwhelmed too.

Kamwenge

Hello, I am back from my travels to Kamwenge and Fort Portal. It was a good trip, I got to meet Maria and her family and see Jude and his uncle. We gave them some special things and met the rest of the Mango Tree Kids to give them the clothes that were sent. It was a wonderful time. They send their thanks and love to all that were involved in what I brought. We also went to a medical clinic where I helped distribute medicine and we told them about the glasses that were sent. Again, they were so thankful for all that has been provided. I kept trying to remind them that all the things are sent in God's name. I am sorry I can't get any pictures on right now and might have to wait until I get home. Even Internet can be more difficult in Africa. So, thank you again SO much for your prayers. They have been very needed. But I am safe and looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Love in the name of Jesus,Suzanne
