| There are many disabled people in Uganda - polio, childhood diseases, etc. We distributed these clothes donated by the Berry children to the Disabled Childrens' Group here in Kijura Village (a glorified slum), and they were very grateful. Who says "hand me downs" can't find a wonderful new home? |

| Baptism at Rwamadopyo Church |
| This is the recently abandoned Kabaleega Primary School building, adjacent to the big field project, and next to our home. Nobody wants the building anymore, so it's a good location for training the catechists and lay leaders of the diocese. As you can see from the pictures, it needs a new set of timbers in the roof, but the iron sheets are still alright. (Next year's restoration project). |
| I took the picture of the little girls bringing their offering to Sunday school (eggplants) at Labango Church (that day, i think i did 26 baptisms? - (it starts to run together after a while). I just like the picture, and want to use it as the lead off for this month's newsletter. |
| This is a nursery school being run at Ntooma Parish, the second farm project that i started last year. It's exciting to see three classes of kids, but the building is pretty basic. However, all the kids seem very happy. |
| An acre of onions at Kasangoire church - buyers are already coming. |
| An acre plus of upland rice at Kabango church, to be harvested sometime in December. |
| The graduating class (minus one). The girl walking in the picture was so excited she could hardly stand it, Because she had just won a new sewing machine from a raffle conducted at the graduation. She had to leave her normal schooling because her father died (lack of school fees), and so now that she is trained as a tailor, she can support herself and her four younger sisters. |
| The first boy to graduate from the Tailoring School, together with his mom and dad (the former bishop's chaplain) |
| The picture is of Phili and son Willy, taken at his school near Kampala. |
