Last few days in Uganda

Update of our activities since our last blog update...

Thursday after doing some craft activities at the village we headed out to the women's prison where we were all challenged and blessed abundantly.  There are so many people waiting for their appeals to be heard and many with limited help from family or social supports we would expect at home was a real challenge.  On a brighter side, their worship was incredible and their genuine sense of real worship was  awesome. We tried our best muzingo and realised we needed to recruit Juliette as our own worship leader and sung some of our own songs before sharing a word which was well received.

Friday we had a day off and visited the Nile and had a great relaxing lunch at the sailing club then we headed off of the usual boat ride where we got the full treatment of birds, otters, monkeys and lizards.

Saturday we spent at the village with the kids helping them paint the decoration pieces on the main hall and it's almost finished with their culture and meaningful sketches being coloured in and they love the new look.  We also had a scratch match of netball where we were thanked for our enthusiasm but we're excised for the real game and that took off between the left side and the right side and it was great to watch.

Sunday was a day in church and Damian was asked to share a message, then it was off to Jinja for our last time.

The last few days seem to have flown and all of a sudden we are starting our last day here and will have our farewell later today.

When talking to our team we all agreed there are not enough words to describe everything we have seen, the beauty, the amazing culture, their happiness and yet all contrasted with many challenges as we have described in the postings on the blog. 

There is much we can all do whether it be prayer, volunteering for HopeBuilders, supporting a house, supporting someones university fees, YSU attendees or the Home of Hope.  One of the best things someone can do is come on a team and be inspired and challenged like this team and every team before us.
