After the Focus conference, last weekend we moved in the White House with Come Lets Dance (the young NGO we worked with in Kampala)
We were grateful to see the CLD regulars of Shane, Jeremy, Julie and Nicole, as well as our Ugandan friends. They are dealing with the grief of loosing their dear Rachael, but God's hand is upon them.
Solomon is still faith at the sewing ministry. James the Man helped me buy a bike for a leader in an IDP camp up north.
We also got to go to Katanga slum again and check on our charcoal business micro-finance loan the Internship invested in last summer. We gave JAJA Anne (upper right) a loan of 85,000 schillings or $50 to buy a bag of charcoal, selling point and storage.
It took 4 months of hard work of working long hours, saving but she is making the last payment for the loan and now is on her own in the business. Praise the Lord. Now we are investing in another personal business with that money. This was the first micro-finance CLD had done in the slum and now Jeremy is doing this with numerous people.

Nancy and Tom,
It is such a blessing to see you both serving in Uganda and reunited with our African brothers and sisters. We miss and love them all and are glad to see that you have been able to take the time to visit them again. We are praying for you both. God bless.
~Amanda
