- Team assembling and getting ready to go
Note: This group of people make up an amazing team from all over the US. I'm constantly amazed at the caliber and quality of people God allows us to meet. I've been blown away by their hearts and attitudes.
- These offices are the administrative headquarters for the 275 projects (church partnering with communities)and 75,000 children.
- They receive 100's of pieces of mail daily from sponsors all around the world for these kids. This caring correspondence is sorted and translated then placed in a project box for delivery.
- The Ugandan Compassion office team was one of the most organized and effective teams I've ever been around. Very competent Christians using their gifts to do ministry.
Note: People are the heart of any organization. Every one of the employees at this Ugandan office is from Uganda. Some even came up through the Compassion process and are now giving back. I Could have stayed all day to talk systems and structure with them.
- This is Makerere-Kivulu and the first of several Child Survival Programs (aka: Projects) we will visit.
- The second picture is Vincent and his young brother and a neighborhood friend.
- Third, some jewelry that Vincent's mom makes to support her family.
Note: Vincent's dad died of AIDS 3 yrs ago. His mom and little brother are currently HIV positive.I stood stunned at this remarkable family. They were so thankful to God and appreciative of the ministry of Compassion. This family receives meds, job training, and school scholarships through Vincent's $38 dollar a month sponsorship.
Look and listen to more of their story through these two short video clips.
