It has been a flurry of activity for the last few days, but Karine and the team are now in transit, and we are looking forward to having them join us tomorrow morning. We are having a bite of lunch and a cappuccino in our office "Cafe Pap”. The warm sun is lovely, we are expecting Sam Turya, from Kabojja International School to arrive any minute to take us to see a primary school that is participating in the Teaching Together project.
Today the front page headline on the New Vision newspaper reads “Bashir Wanted for Genocide”. When we were here in March Khadafi was in Uganda and he declared the bible a fraud. It is fascinating to discuss with Ugandans their perceptions and opinions about these headlines. I believe the solutions to these issues will be found here in Africa in the minds of the capable, young, and brilliant future leaders. Our visit to Kabojja Junior School today confirmed that, as it is clear the children there are exceptional and incredibly intelligent, and their written work is meticulous. I was beyond impressed by the strong leadership of that school. It is a privelidge for our teachers to be able to teach there.
Today has been as series of meetings, and like many times before the way we thought things would go has been different and more challenging than expected...BUT we have had victory over many of these challenges, and now the fruit of our labour is sweeter.
Thank-you to Professor Peter Kasenene, Sam Turya, David Jeb Kuteesa, and Collins Hy for your generous support and encouragement. You have been a blessing to Niteo.
Please continue to pray for the safe travel of our team, and that our time and efforts here in Africa will serve our God and the children of Uganda.

Greetings Donna and Dodie -- As promised, you are in my prayers and the prayers of many each and every day and by the wonderful messages you've sent I see that God is answering those prayers more graciously that we could wish for.Thank you for those exciting updates and we look forward to more in the days ahead.
Yesterday the rest of the team left Kelowna amidst smiles and some tears. I can only imagine the excitement as you meet up with each other. Yes, part of me wants so much to be there also, but I am with you in my heart and will continue to be with you all in my prayers. May God fill you with His love and much joy. Verna.
