I can honestly say that trying to sum up what has transpired over the last two weeks is going to be a serious challenge. The tastes, the smells, the events, the celebrations, the roads, the children, the joy and the sorrow, the inspiration and peacefulness, the - the - the -I am so thankful we had this blog to capture so many of our daily events. I'd like to offer these things that I am so grateful for:
1. To have journied into Uganda with three amazing individuals - two certifiable :-)
2. Returning back home to a family and community of such love and support.
3. Reuniting with friends and making new ones in Uganda.
4. Being awakened to the depth and significant impact that the work we have been doing for the past two years has made in the lives of thousands of people.
5. Experiencing the joy and spirit of the children, women and villagers through their songs and welcoming hospitality.
6. Discovering new needs and new places that we can reach out to.
7. Not ever seeing a cobra :-)
8. For an amazing driver, Douglas, who brought us briskly and safely and from place to place.
9. Wonderful meals and fellowship enjoyed at the Kateeba, Obaikol, Nkoyoyo, Opol, Kasamba, Ochaloi and Noll homes.
10. And, for Chris Ochaloi and John Kateeba's loving organization of our Soroti/Kaberamaido, Kampala and Bushenyi itineraries.
Much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving eve. I am looking forward to the months to come...re-charged, re-energized and re-inspired by the children of Uganda.
Maama Martha
