Welcome back Family!
We have a little update for you from our dear ones in Uganda. Emmanuel writes that things have been busy on the farm and in the school, as the P7 students prepare for examinations. Take a look!
“Ourselves, we’re okay though I am super busy myself with the farm. I planted four hectares (the equivalent roughly 10 acres) of corn which, I think, will probably take us throughout the whole of next year. The vegetable gardens are doing well at the school premises. We should begin harvesting the cabbages and watermelons next month, and pineapples, green pepper and corn next year. The Grade 7 students started their national exams yesterday and they finish today. We prepared them some special meals during their preparations (fried rice and soda) and they were all excited thanks to you.”
One need in the school is food. For many, the meal served at school may be the only one they eat that day, for those not boarding. Emmanuel has a beautiful vision to help cut the costs at the school as well provide nutritious meals for the children. Much like his mother, he is starting with what is in his hands: good business sense and a green thumb. His fresh fruits and vegetables are delicious and will give much needed supply for their meals. With full bellies, the children can focus on their studies and continue to put Nyamabuga on the map!
What do you do when you have a vision, but the circumstances look dim? You continue forward, in faith! Learn how Nyamabuga’s Secondary School Headmaster is believing in God and bringing light in the face of darkness! Watch “Building Bricks by Faith” to learn more of this extraordinary endeavor. Let’s pray for these students and the Nyamabuga Primary School as they continue to press forward into the bright future God has for them.
