Africa - 10

ROAD TRIP

We woke up to no electricity or hot water. We planned a trip to Jinga and thought gas at $7 per gallon was a good deal so we went.

We met with Pastor Hanington and Pastor Godfrey at the Source Cafe. They both pastor village churches and are connected with Cross Style Ministries. I enjoyed exchanging stories of family and church. We also introduced them to two African ministers associated with Amahoro for possibly a future partnership. Hanington summarized it when he said, "we digested the cross".

We then left for rural Uganda and saw a new water well put in a village for $5000. This gives clean water to 80 families or 400 people.

Then further down the dirtroad to a house where Paul and his wife live. They have 4 children of their own and two years ago brought in 20 children who were orphaned due to hiv/aids. They make necklaces to sell and farm their own food to survive.

We headed back into civilization and stopped to see the Nile River and subsequent falls. It was weird to see it with my own eyes after seeing it on a map for so long. Breathtaking and beautiful!

After a coke (made with sugar not corn syrup) we crammed back in the vehicle and headed back to the guest house. We stopped to buy a stalk of sugar cane which makes for a great appetizer when after a week I'm over the food. Very tired but a good day!
