Medical Clinic

The clinic is open!!!



This past weekend we had the grand opening of the new medical clinic. Our guest of honour was the First Lady, Janet Musseveni. This made the already huge party even bigger. She came down with at least 100 army and security personnel. She actually landed in the middle of our soccer field in a huge army helicopter!


All dressed up for the big celebration!!!

The Clinic looks amazing!!! So do you guys - all dressed up!! Wish I could have been there too!

I also loved reading about Sanyu, not sure how you can leave there empty-handed!!! I still have very fond (somewhat tearfull) memories of our very brief stop at Mpigi! I don't think I could manage Sanyu. Tell Joel I am so proud of him! God is going to bless him richly! What an awesome experience for both of you.
