Hi again from Team 7.

Today some of the team have gone rafting on the Nile, some have gone shopping in Jinja and other are enjoying a relaxing day here at YWAM.

We have been continuing to work hard laying bricks on house 4 as well as setting up solar lighting in the guard house, kitchen and admin building. We will be working on the admin building on Friday in to get it ready for Jeremy and Sarah to move into soon.

It hasn't all been hard work though, on Sunday night we went out for dinner to Gately on the Nile and enjoyed some time in the lovely gardens there. We also took Farook (one of our labourers) our for dinner on Tuesday night in celebration of his 21st birthday.


The team at Gately.


We had a little rain (massive tropical storm) on Monday morning, so the first job was to get the water out of the house. Its always fun building here when its wet as you end up with and inch of mud stuck to your boots.

We can now focus all our attention on the admin building. We are also looking forward to taking the kids swimming on Sunday.

More from team 7

Greeting from team 7.
We have been having fun here in Uganda, working hard but also taking time out to play with the children and see the sites.

The building work has been going at a cracking pace and we hope to complete our work on house 4 in the next few days. We can then turn our focus to completing the admin centre.
We had the opportunity to visit Joy Primary School for their devotions time and present a bible story to the kids there. Half the team did the story of Jericho with the older kids and the story of Noah's Ark was shared with the younger children.
As a team we decided to take a half day off and head to Bujagali Falls where we had a relaxing afternoon.






We have been really enjoying hanging out and getting to know the kids at the village of hope.






And work on the site continues.













Please pray for good health for all the team and that God will continue to bless the work we are doing here in Uganda.
