A great time was had by all. A lot of food was eaten and coke was drunk. The women welcomed the project with zeal and are looking forward to planting vegetables using new farming methods.They thanked Father Rick for his support for the project by providing them with the seeds and the water harvesting projects that will improve their lives and the lives of their 90 dependents.

Two songs were sung and these are some of the words; "Ugandans stop crying," this was the chorus."Our group Ebenezer,.... my names are Babareka Joyce... chairperson Jane Namugogo... our Pastor we are glad to see you...our Father Rick, thanks for our seeds and the party..."

This party was a success for EFORDE and for the village of Nabitende. "Neighbours of Nabitende are leaving footsteps in the sand of time and are leaving the village better than they found it" says Pastor Paddy.

He wanted you all to see the photos and says more stories are to follow in the coming days.

Hi everyone! I was able to talk to Min this evening very briefly. He was utilizing a friend's laptop on battery to check in. He has not been able to check his email due to lack of electricity and he does not have his laptop with him during this visit. He also was not able to bring the digital camera, so picture updates will have to wait until he gets back to Kathmandu to scan in the photo's he's taken.

Min reported that the new toilet is under construction. The pit has been dug and materials collected to finish it up. Materials have also been collected for the water tank. Two skilled laborers are working on building the tank.

Min said they were stopped for about 3-days on the way to Gamauli due to a strike arranged by local people, but they finally arrived and were able to get working. Min has not been able to check into Nabuur due to his lack of computer access and electricity, so I wanted to let you all know the good news from his brief update.

All the best-

Jennifer
