home stretch....

I am looking at the last week of my stay in Uganda and I can't believe that it has all gone by so fast.

Thanks to readers of this blog wanting to share in love with the wonderful children and people I have met...this is what I will be doing this week:

-Completely renovating and painting the clinic. I am now fully stocked with enough meds to open my own pharmacy. They would have cost me thousands in the US. I bought them for $80 US dollars. There will be no more sick children for a long time at hopeland Junior School.

-meeting with carpenters and engineers to build the next set of permanent classrooms.

-giving 10 more of the strongest women I've ever met their microfinance loan to build their small businesses.

-taking Paul and Enoch to a doctor who will possibly perform their surgeries for free. =)

-providing a sister village with start up money for a clinic and family planning methods (I can't not begin to describe the dire need for this here....that will be another post in itself)

-purchasing handmaid crafts that generate income for single mothers/widows that I will be able to sell and send profit back once I'm in the states.

- and getting Paul a new wheelchair!

We now have at least 10 children sponsored through this blog just in the last week. We have 200 more to go. I'm pretty sure we can do it. Get excited because the journey is just beginning when I leave Uganda next Saturday. You'll hear about it very soon. =)

thank you all for your support. more details soon.

p.s. Enoch is now sponsored. My heart is overflowing with joy.
