Happy 5th Birthday, Finn!!



Finn turned 5 today, this is the 3rd birthday he's celebrated in Africa!!





We had a casual celebration tonight with our team, bbq hot dogs and chocolate cake at Finn's request. Although we are far from a lot of family and friends, God

 has surrounded us in Uganda by incredible people, we're especially thankful for amazing "Aunties" and "Uncles" in our kids lives. They are truly loved and invested in by Rachel, Sean, Jamie and the many visitors we get, we are blessed.

Joel

Joel had a great day today, he was busy all day hanging out with different people.

Brenda Gaynor, who is a Science teacher at home, did a lesson with him this morning which he said was really fun. He then helped the PA team out with their work project, painting a wall in our primary campus, and somehow ended up with more paint on himself than the wall!! When we called him in for dinner we found him playing a volleyball game with some secondary students, he said he was serving and "bumping" it over the net, he was very proud of himself!

We love how our kids embrace the visitors we get in Uganda, and love to see how much fun they have with them all!!

Nursery Students

Check out www.kibaale.net to see pictures of the new preschool kids who are waiting for sponsorship!! 



The cost of sponsorship is $25.00 (Canadian) per month for nursery students. One hundred percent of the money goes for the benefit of the student and their family, which includes education, a feeding program, medical care and family agricultural needs. Administrative costs are covered by Pacific Academy. 

Mpigi with the Anderson's



We had a great week with the Anderson family in Kibaale and were so thankful to then spend a week together at our church project, the Peace Portal Children's Village, in Mpigi!



The preschool kids and staff kids who are home in the afternoon are hanging out with us at the guest house on our first day.



The Anderson girls were unsure of the chameleon at first, it didn't take long though until they were picking it up and playing with it or trying to catch bugs to feed to it!

The kids loved playing with us in the church and getting to make great crafts!!



"Cheese!"





T-shirts and fabric paint were donated to every one of the kids, they are so creative and made some very cool shirts. THANKS so much for your generous donations!!!



Mazzy and Praise had a lot of fun playing together, they're both too cute!





The VBS campers made these great balls for the kids, we hid them around the property, they had so much fun running around everywhere to find them!!





Sugar cane, yummy!!!
