What a crazy day.... We were late getting to jinja due to the money issue..... By the way they ended up giving us $200 to much!! So we are going to return it next week when we fly to gulu....
Today was a PR day. We arrived in jinja and got our rooms. We spent a little time at a house for single mothers and widows with HIV\AIDS. This is run by the evangelizing sisters of mary in partnership with cyorf. Wonderful time with them. We are going back tomorrow for a few minutes as well.
We also spent time with the cyorf board and discussed some future needs and they thanked us for the support we have provided so far. Very grateful.
We them had a visit to a housing project cyorf is working on. They build new perm houses for widows and we got to see one under construction. $2,500 for a brick house.
Them we had a meeting with the vice chairman of jinja district. He is equal to the governor of arkansas. He thanked us for our support of cyorf and is providing us a guard during our stay to protect the medical supplies. This was a big deal for us to meet with him.
We have eaten and sorted the supplies and are ready for the clinics and the construction projects tomorrow.
We met another group of 56 from all over the states doing medical, construction, evangelizing, etc in jinja. They are staying on our hotel.
That is all for now..... The team is getting along very well and bonding. Everyone is excited to get started tomorrow.
More to come later..... Thank you for the prayers. We are felling them.
I love you. Talk to you soon.
