MUSIC RECORDING - We are soo thankful to God and Joyce and Melissa (our friends from Holland) for having given our children the chance of recording their music. The recording begun last week and is still going on this week and very soon you’ll be able to hear the children’s voices. This is a dream come true.
Visit with Auntie & Uncle
KIKAROMOJA SLUM VIST - We recently went with the children who originally cam from the Kikaramoja slum to go visit their relatives with a few gifts. It was such a touching moment seeing how far the Lord had brought these children from. Some of them were happy to see their relatives, but some even refused to talk to them or even stay with them for a minite without us. 

These are relatives of the 5 sisters [Brenda, Christine, Carol, Racheal and Angela]. We visited their auntie who took care of them after their parent’s death. And on extreme left, is their uncle who lives in the watoto childrens home but had also come to visit the auntie. The girls were soo happy to see him again after a long time.
Mark and his sister
Amuge & Doreen with grandmother 
This is Amuge and Doreen her sister with their grand mother. She was happy to see her grand children and they to were happy.

This is Mark and his sister who recently broke her leg in an accident and now on crutches and in a lot of pain. We prayed for her and please continue praying for her.

THE LONG WAITED ARRIVAL OF THE CONTAINER.
It was great joy for everyone in the village, both young and old when our container that our dear Australian friends sent us arrived after a long time of waiting. We are grateful to God for this success and also to the people that gave. Thank you for loving us and blessing us as well with these wonderful things.
