Back to work!

I made it to Uganda this week after having a great time with Phil in Kenya. Phil and I were able to get out of the city for the weekend and visit Hell's Gate. We biked through the national park and hiked through the slippery wet gorge. It was so much fun seeing all of the zebras and camping with the hippos! Here's a few photos of our trip...to see some more, visit Phil's blog...he's a great photographer. :)

After saying goodbye to Phil, I arrived in Uganda and was swept away to a rural district named Kamwenge where our water project will be based for the next year. I saw the site where we'll be staying and met my wonderful staff.

It is evident that clean water is needed in the villages where we'll be serving. Our survey showed that only 2.6% of the area has access to clean water. After speaking to the people we found that their common water source is the swamp over the hill and a small pond where their cattle and goats dip as well. Hard to imagine, right? We will be the only NGO working in this area and I will be the only white woman for many miles in every direction. It's a privilege to be in such a remote area that has so much need.

Please pray that God will bless the work of our hands. That the clean water our project provides points to Him and not to us. That we will all love Christ more and more each day.

Thank you so much for your love and support!
