Iganga & Wanale

Feb 6th: Great day visiting Wanale with Edith and Christine. We met with a few families who are living with HIV/AIDS in very tough circumstances. One lady we visited was at death's door when I met her 21/2 years ago (Martin. Thanks to UWCM and Love Africa she is now ell, she has some goats which are giving her food security and income. She was laughing and smiling which I had never sen before. The are literally scores of people whpo hjave been helped in a similar way and for every widow heled there are an average of 6 children who also have hope for the furture. We also visited communities in Iganga with Pastor Paul a Love Africa partner. We stayed at his house for the night. Quite an emotionally draining 24hrs some bike problems plus a touch of delhi-belly. If you are praying for us please continue!

    WOOOOW! It is all SOOOO exciting and there's even the bit you get in all the best films where the hero(s) experience adversity (probs with bikes) being wounded (delhi belly) and live to fight another day! It's GREAT and I love the bits about all the animals (more piccies pls). As we wend our weary ways through the greyness of another damp British morning,(it's bound to be, it'll be Monday) prayers in abundance will be uplifting you both and you will be heroes once more, scuffing up the dirt and riding off into....where is it you are now?

    It must be so good to meet up with friends and how wonderful that the lady at Wanale is doing so well having been at deaths door 2 years ago. Hope the bikes are ok now but more than that- you have recovered.

    We hold you both in our prayers each day. Enjoy the next leg of the trip.

    All our love

    Ma and Pa xxx
