Reflections from Days Six & Seven

Our team had the opportunity to serve at both God Cares Primary and Secondary Schools. Below are some reflections from Andrea: When we first arrived at God Cares Primary School, we were welcomed with open arms by Worship, the school’s administrator, and her husband Peter, the Project Manager. They gave us a tour of the school […]

Reflections from Day Five

For over a decade, I’ve watched this organization, which houses pregnant teen moms, make a difference in the lives of young girls from all over Uganda and other neighboring countries. They are a safe haven and a second chance for those whose lives have been devastated by sexual abuse, unintended pregnancy, and rejection from their […]

Reflections from Day Four— Part Three

Thoughts from Abby: A dirty wooden bench on a dimly lit front patio is protected from wandering eyes by a large tarp. The sound of bass is resounding in my chest from the huge speaker right next to me on the patio. Women, young girls actually, start pouring onto the patio, making it crowded and difficult […]

Reflections from Day Four — Part Two

From Carolyn: This afternoon we visited Rehab Uganda, an organization that is working towards rehabilitating women that are being exploited. Many are young, are forced into this lifestyle to provide for themselves and/or the children they have or to help pay for school fees. There were about 30 women at their Drop-In Center this particular […]

Reflections from Day 4 — Part One

Day Four was more than we could have ever imagined — in so many ways. It was our longest, most trying, and at the same time precious and revealing day. We’re going to break the day up into several different blog posts as our team continues to process everything. We’re starting today with reflections from our medical […]

Reflections from Day 2

We started this Sunday morning at Bulamu Children’s Village, a home and school for over three hundred orphaned children. The day was filled with the most incredible church service, craft times, soccer games, medical check ups, a Reality Check presentation, and so much more. Our Reality Check team then headed to Goshen House, a local […]

Overall Summary & Next Steps

Here’s a small snapshot of some of the highlights of our time in Uganda. What this doesn’t capture, however, is the hundreds of other lives that we were priveleged to hold, counsel, and get to know. Now that we’re home and are processing and sharing everything we’ve been a part of, the number one question we’re asked […]

Reflections from Day Nine

Our final day of service was incredibly sweet and meaningful. A few of the pregnant girls at the maternity home delivered babies during our time there, and invited us to come back and meet their little girls. There were lots of tears as we held these precious babies and thought about the life ahead for […]

Reflections from Day Eight

Thoughts from Stacy: We made our way back to a village in Mokono, to set up a clinic in a classroom with a dirt floor. No one on the team was entirely sure what we would encounter. In less than 8 hours we saw close to 100 people in the village from sick babies to a […]

Reflections from Day 1

We woke up in the beautiful, green, rainy city of Kampala and spent the day with the babies (& toddlers) at Sanyu Babies Home, a Christian organization taking incredible care of 50 abandoned babies and toddlers between 1 day old and 4 years. Many of these children are found abandoned in garbage heaps, pit latrines, […]
