Hi All,
I'm so excited to hear of your interest. Yesterday I mentioned the Kashesha school in Uganda. Here's the story. Father Justus, my African priest friend that I call my African Son sent me an urgent message about a disaster: it was late February & a terrible wind & rain storm had completely destroyed a school in his parish. 710 students were without a school! This wasn't a school we had built. It was made by the families of the students out of tree limbs & some lumber. (I call these chicken coup schools - in my mind, so I can visualize the structures).
We immediately borrowed $10,000 from another building we were working on which will serve a little over 100 students & used these funds to begin replacing Kashesha primary with a more permanent brick school. The villagers pitched in immediately making mountains of bricks. Father bought rebar, cement, & some lumber. In just over a month, we have the walls up. Metal doors & windows coming & the metal roof being put on.
Some of you awesome donors immediately sent money ($22,000 more).
Now you can see we are almost done. These kids are overjoyed & they know that you did this. They love praying for all of us here in America. My heart is singing! THANK YOU!
