Because of your generous support we raised $911.70 to purchase pregnant goats that will be given to widows or orphans in rural Uganda. This will be a life changer for them. On January 24 a team of eight from Portland, Oregon will head to Uganda to work alongside the Ugandans on a number of projects. One of those projects is to travel to a rural village and help to distribute the goats. This is a major event in the life of the whole village. Everyone dresses up and comes to celebrate, even the ones who will not be receiving a goat. A local government official comes to join in the celebration. Then the whole village has a meal together. I love to see the joy on their faces.
When our team returns in early February I will send a fuller report complete with pictures.
Without you this would not be possible. I will tell the Ugandans about the amazing people from different parts of the world that came together to make this possible.
Thank You
