Puzzles, Paint and Play

Today, the team visited Nakabango Primary School and Secondary School 
before heading to Kawete.





12 of the students at Nakabango Secondary School are graduates of CCLS!


The clinic was VERY busy at CCLS today but Dr. Craig found some time for a selfie:


As we arrived at CCLS, we organized the sponsor packets and met with many, many more sponsors! These children are so beautiful!



The Nursery students continued working on a fish mural and enjoyed new puzzles donated by CCLS-St. Louis families!!! They loved them!

Day One...

Listening to "Come and Listen" by David Crowder... We arrived at our motel at 2am last night and most of us slept less than 4 hours. No worries! Today, some of us will visit Kawete for the first time and, for some, it is like coming home. There are no words to describe the pure overwhelming joy the first time one of our team members experiences the love of the CCLS-Uganda children. We are blessed to be a part of this journey. Our devotion this morning, borrowed from CCLS-St. Louis Executive Director, Matt Hoehner, focuses on "the why" versus "the what." Why are we called to be here in this place at this time?  Check back later for photos from our first day in Kawete!

How Can I Keep From Singing?

How Can I Keep From Singing? Today, our last day to visit Kawete, actually began with a trip to the Lutheran Theological College of Uganda. As we arrived, chapel was just ending but we were blessed with the sound of the seminarians singing for us. They sang two Lutheran Hymns and one song in a local language, Lusoga. It was just beautiful. The team joined Pastor Ken in his class and answered some questions from his students. When we finally arrived in Kawete, there was a lot of time to enjoy the children. We ended our time in Kawete with a teacher meeting!  These are the hardest working teachers we know! See you again in March 2020!!!!!! We love you so much!

What a Day! Welcome to Kawete...the children greeted us with waving of branches, singing and drumming! Their faces were welcoming JOY as we took our first steps off of the bus. After a brief tour of the compound, we were blessed with  entertainment and introductions of staff. These children capture our hearts every time we visit. It may be their eyes! We visited George and Karim's home in the village! Christine, their mother, was so thrilled to have us visit and showed us their modest compound. Karim surprised us with his entrepreneurial idea: He built a shelter for and purchased ducks to raise and sell. His goal is to earn enough money for school supplies for himself and his brother, George. Thank you God for these beautiful people and the country they love. We are overwhelmed by their compassion and generosity.
