We began to lose hope that we’d actually make it to see the
ladies at the Healing Home. Rain poured and where people use public
transportation, pretty much everything stops in the rain. Just after midday,
one of the caring neighbor men sent a car to pick us up. So very thankful, we
were welcomed by one of the warmest greetings in Uganda.
The ladies at the Healing Home were gifted a sewing machine
and start up materials by the ladies from Caring and Sharing in FL. Though the
machine has given us a bit of grief for some time, the ladies have made much
progress with their volunteer teachers. So thankful for their absolute
motivation, such an unusual quality among the more disadvantaged people here.
Rachel prepared some great craft ideas, that complimented
the books donated by friend Anna, and taught the ladies how to hand sew these
crafts. Right from the start they showed so much initiative in their creative
abilities. So much fun was had by all.
Upon our final moments together, the ladies of the Healing
Home presented some of their dance and worship talents. They could shake things
we didn’t know shook. Wow! What a blessing they were to US!
