Day 14 03/03/25 (Brian)

Today has been an emotional day as we said goodbye to many dear friends in Jinja and began our journey home.

It was wonderful to spend time as a team reflecting on these 2 weeks, sharing personal impacts, memories, challenges and encouraging words for times ahead of us. Edison , Joseph and Judith came to see us off, and Edison prayed a blessing over us , these were memorable moments with them.

Personally, there are so many special moments I will treasure but maybe a couple to mention include yesterday’s Ugandaid Alumni gathering, where we heard fabulous testimony from past students about how Ugandaid sponsorship has shaped their lives in new ways, and to hear their words of love for Joseph our Ugandaid coordinator ar NVI. He is a dear friend to all of us and an exceptional man, rich in love, wisdom and humility.

And secondly, today we had an update that blessed us all, shared by Dave Hall, who is helping coordinate the team's ambition to improve the food for street children engaged by CRO - their first change of diet from porridge to more nutritious food for some time and for the year ahead. (See pics), these children will remain in our hearts for many years to come.

Finally, after the bumpy, hot, but yet captivating journey to Entebbe, we had time to relax at a lovely venue near to the airport, and reached the airport in good time.

Announcements have just been made, so we're preparing to board and come home. I’m privileged to sign off our final blog post, on this amazing trip, and thank everyone who has supported and prayed for us over this time.

"God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!!"

Amen.
