Dear Family and Friends,
Jerry arrived safely yesterday. We picked him up at the airport with our taxi driver and dear friend, Richard. Our friend Douglas also came with, so Jerry was given a grand welcome!
We said goodbye to the Santiam Team late afternoon. A number of the kids were struggling with stomach issues. Many were very jealous that Jess gets to stay another few days. We will miss them all.
The photo above includes a sweet girl named Fatuma. She is on the right side of the photo. When we met her last fall, she was so shy and sad. She was a student at the school, but did not live at the home. Her home situation was not good, in fact it was very abusive. We were so concerned about her and whether or not she would still be at the school. We were so happy and thankful to find her well and happy. She is now living with her grandmother and has hope for the future.
I will write more soon. We are heading out to 1,000 Cups, our favorite coffee place here. Well, it is the only one we know about!
Much love,
Cathi

Hi you guys! Ok, I am so jealous! You guys are having so much fun! But we miss you here, too! :) That's so awesome that you get to see all the kids in Uganda again...that's so amazing that you're able to build a relationship with those precious children!

So glad that Jerry made it there fine! I must have been a great reunion in Uganda on that day! You all are doing such a great work in those children's lives! Praying for you all!
