UganDan

Hey everyone sorry for the delay.Internet in Uganda is very slow,or no available,or even worst you experience power outages while online. Anyway The group is in Fort Portal which is a small town located Western REGION of Uganda.Were staying with Youth Encourage Services also know as Y.E.S while is also so an (NGO) non government organization. Y.E.S provides children with HIV/AIDS and children who lost their parents to HIV/AIDS with food,shelter,schooling and medicine.Carol Adams is the marvelous women who envisioned this program explained to us about how she got start.Carol further explained god called her to do this work at the ripe age of 50 years old. Carol had no experiences traveling experience let alone working with children.After being told by a friend a church this organizations from Uganda wanted her to head the program Carol jumped on the plane from Hawaii to Uganda. Shortly after arriving in Uganda the program lost funding and carol was all alone with no money that experiences didn't stop carol worked hard and eventually started the Y.E.S program.

After a day of rest carol told us she had a job for us.She recently brought land were she was planting crops to feed the children.Carol needed us along with the works she had to finish a house for the farms so that neighbors/community wouldn't mistaking their crops from ours. We spent 3 long hours a day either digging or plastering the walls with a dirt/cement mix. All and all the job was very fun and we even got to play with the children at the Y.e.s program which ages ranged from 5 to15 years old. Their are 15 boys and 15girls who stay at the orphanage. Today we got the day off because it is KAAN'S 18th Birthday we ate pizza and enjoyed a few laughs here an there.
Uganda is beautiful and I'm loving every minutes of it.My time is all most up on the computer so until next time my friends.Oh yeah Isabel I've read some of your blogs you're doing a great job.
