HBI Schoolies Revolution Team 4 in Uganda!!
At noon , Team 4 (Schoolies) landed at Entebbe Air port in Uganda. All are well and pretty much excited to reach at Village of Hope to be part of Hope Builders.
They boarded the Bus to Jinja .....which Johann called a short journey may be because he is used to it, but to our first time Visitors it was a bit long.
We finally made it to Suubi House by six o'clock ,loaded off the laggage and no one could sleep well before going to the Village though it it was getting dark in a few minutes.
Today morning at 9am, the Team arrived at the Village to start on House 12 ,started with fetching bricks, laying the first layer from the slab helped by the African Hope Builders. This happened in half day since in the evening they are going to run about Jinja town to get to know it more..
Team 4 has designed a number of programs to run in the 2 or more weeks in Uganda, visiting the community schools, Home of Hope ,Luke's project (Youth Support Uganda) ,the Kikaramoja slums, the females' prison and on top of that Building House 12.
Lets all believe God for the Team's Health and safety while it helps Break the Cycle of Poverty in Uganda.....Goooooo Schoolies go...

All is Happening at Village of Hope!!
Another month of business for the busy VILLAGE ,Children in their third week of Third Term and some are through with their Begining of Term Exams. Candidates (P7,S4) only have 4:1weeks respectively to down National Exams, revising tirelessly and they also need our prayers for better Grades.
Mothers are fine and in good healthy busy with their daily routines and all thier children are at School. From the board meeting ,a recomendation for guidance and counselling from all people concerned is still being implemented, Luke and I hold Saturday boys' talks to help them growup positive society impacting MEN.
Village of Hope has embarked on its project of producing its own safe clean water for the Village and community use.From Borehole drilling ,testing water quality, Tank stand building,Raising 2 big Tanks, AND NOW on digging pipeline trenches, Installing Solar panel holder on which the Panels will be placed to
capture solar power to run the pump and then get water in every point....Innovation Africa is the company to make this happen.
Micro-enterprises of Village of Hope are operating smoothly. We have a brand new addition of a cross breed bull bought from the extra savings made from Farm Income, this will be able to serve the cows in 5 months time. Our 100 Krouiler birds are now a month and 2weeks old and in good condition.Thanks to all our sponsors of these micro enterprises.
On the sad note, on 10-09-2014 our beloved partners Home of Hope(Home for the Disabled) lost a boy (Derrick) son of Aunt Edith one who started the Home and again yesterday Moses one of the children also died. Home of Hope people need comfort in these trying moments.
Again We thank Hope Builders for the good work being Done to build Hope in Children and Widows.
