Church
For all of you who think "church" means sedate, boring, ritualistic, dull, you really should come with me some time.
Our church, Kampala International Church, is about 300+ people on a Sunday morning. It is hard to meet new people and really get connected. So once every 6 weeks or so, we hold "zone" church in our geographical areas.
Our zone leaders creatively found a space for us to use, rent free, for these meetings, which can be up to 35 people. The only requirement the owners have for us is the purchase of one soda or water per
person. We do manage to cover that minimal cost.
The church meets at Tickles and Giggles, a bar/pub on Ggaba Rd in Kansanga. You all are most welcome to come. I love telling people that I went to church in a bar last Sunday. It is a great conversation opener.

King of Kings Nursery and Primary School
Photos of Florence's school which has 2 rooms, lined with plastic and cardboard to keep out the wet and the wind.
There are 40+ children and several teachers, most part-time.

God blesses the children with a solid grounding in reading and writing through teachers with enough energy and education to organize and keep them moving.
Jessica is an eMi intern who recently volunteered at the school before returning to Canada.

Flowers from there to here
Dahlia sent from CA to grow in this marvelous climate, in a new pot on my front porch.
Background flower is a shrub whose little starts came from Kingfisher Resort in Jinja, one of the places I used to go with my family.
