TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING

Two weeks from today I'll be boarding the plane for Uganda. I'm excited to say that we already have enough money to purchase 5 goats and money for 100 mosquito nets for the children in the school and their families. If we get more money for mosquito nets, we will pass out nets to the families in Jjokolera AIDS & Orphans village where we are supplying the goats. Mosquito nets cuts the deadly disease of malaria in half. $5.00 is all it takes to possibly prevent a death of a child by malaria. Fiona, the 8 year old in this picture, is in New Creation Centre and last June while I was visiting, she came down with a severe case of Malaria. Praise God that we were there at the time and were able to take her to the hospital to receive the needed 3 injections. The injections are expensive for Ugandans - $20.00 in American money. That's what we spend on a movie and popcorn. For them it could be over a half a month salary. Six months later in January when we visited, Fiona came down with malaria again. We repeated the 3 injections and bought her a mosquito net and the family nets!!! I know that this visit will be different. I'm praying no more injections for young Fiona!
