Well, the training is finished and we are on our way. It was so exciting to see everyone get excited about what is about to happen in their villages. I had one of our new caseworkers, a young man named Gato, come up to me afterwards and say, “Mommy, thank you for coming. I have been wanting to help the people so much and I have been suffering because I could not. Now I know we can finally do something.” (By the way… Mommy is the way you would address a married woman you respect!)
I have missed being in the village. While we have been putting together our organization, we spend a lot of time in the capital city. It was good to have the voices of the villages with me today. We had a cook make “Matoke” (matoe-key) for them. It is an unripe green banana dish that is cooked. I hear that Ugandan’s don’t feel like they have eaten until they had some Matoke! Our new team ate well, trained well and I know they are excited for the new changes that will happen soon.
I am also excited about the team coming on Thursday. I think someone is brining double-stuff Oreo’s! OH! I can’t wait. Why does everything have to come down to food with me?? But I can’t wait to start working on a house for my friend Cece on Friday. We are tearing down her old house and building her a new one and the whole team will help. We are also going to go into
