Yes we are still in Uganda!

So this Internet, this iPad and I are not getting along at all on this trip! We are still here, all is going well but I haven't been able to tell you about it!!

Quick recap of the last few days:

Last Friday we set up a "store" so that all the children could come through and pick out some things that would be new to them.  We had about 77 children attending the school that day. What a privilege it is to have such wonderful friends who used their time, their talent and their resources to bless these children in the most awesome way! 
We are so blessed to have these many friends from Lilyanne to Hailey and so many more who made and donated such beautiful creations for us to share at Hopeline!
                 
It was truly like Christmas for these children! They had so much fun first picking out a backpack --then loading it up with a new notebook, dresses & skirts for the girls, t-shirts and shorts for the boys, a pair of flip flops and ending with a new quilt, blanket or soft cover for their bunk bed! 
                

                                              Their happy faces tell it all!
       
                          Thank you to everyone who helped us brighten the children's day!

Will cut this short in hopes that it will post! More photos to come!
