The next 3 days will be spent doing mission work at a beautiful project near Lake Victoria. This property is amazingly beautiful and the breeze blowing off the lake is so refreshing. You can't really imagine the joy that you experince while pulling up to one of these projects until you see the excitement on the faces of the children. They were dressed in their beautiful pink school uniforms, smiling, and waving. They sang and danced for us and fed us lunch. At this project the children are a bit older and their English is better. They couldn't stay long because school was in session but we're looking forward to an opportunity to interact with them more in the days to come.
We will also be joined in our mission work by some Leadership Development Students. I won't tell you much about these students just yet as their main day is Friday. What I will say is that they are the cream of the crop. Young adults that have grown up through the Child Sponsorship program and are now attending University.
After lunch we hopped on the bus for a short drive to one site of our mission work. We will be helping build a new home for the most amazing woman. She is a widow, has 9 children of her own, and does day care to earn money. She also has recently "adopted" a baby that was abandoned in the village and no other family would take her in. Not only is this amazing angel a widow but she is also losing her eyesight. Her house is literally crumbling to the ground and is really unsafe, especially for the number of children that she is caring for. She is so greatful to the project and all of the volunteers for providing for her. It will really be an honor to help restore her living circumstances!
