Lake Mburu

Our Director from Canada, Jon Imbeau, recently spent a week with us in Uganda. We all had the chance to spend one night away at Lake Mburu for a staff planning retreat. We have such a great team right now, we're all very excited about the coming year.

Jeff took over the role of Director in Kibaale this January, so far it has been a smooth transition!!

Thank you for your continued support and prayers as we begin another year living in Uganda.

Watching the feeding of bush babies as it got dark, our kids really enjoyed seeing them for the first time!
