MODESTO
The
following Monday Ben and Tami Miller, my friends from Modesto came to pick me
up from Hayward. I had a great time with them and their family.
On Thursday
Tracy and Mary Wolfe prepared a dinner at their house and Tami invited all our
friends and children sponsors from Modesto to come over. Most of our friends
turned up and we had a great time.
Tracy introduced
me giving a note how we first met way back in 2008. Him and Mary were surfing
about different things going in Kabale when the learnt about House of Hope and
picked interest. It is amazing that what started a simple relationship has now
given birth to great things happening. 15 children are sponsored from Modesto.
I spent time
giving a report on the progress of House of Hope orphanage and sponsored
children in the community. Ben summed it up hinting on the importance of
sponsors keeping in touch with children and maintaining a relationship with
children. He also emphasized the importance of sending to children gifts such
as Birthday presents and Christmas gifts.
I shared
with them that my main goal is to help the orphans and poor children through
House of Hope program to be self-sustaining; by giving them education but also
by teaching them a trade. We plan to teach our children how to make sweaters.
We also plan to buy more land so we can plant our own food to lessen relying on
the USA to feed these children.
My visit this time to California was rather
short but it was enjoyable
