Giving

Yesterday we went to a small village called Massessi (I'm not sure if that's how you spell it). We handed out shoes to the children in the village and then fed them beans and some chipatti (a greasy tortilla like food). It was an amazing experience, 95% of these children didn't own shoes and it was like Christmas for them yesterday. They were so excited, but they got a little out of hand because the nearby villages got word of the giveaway and came to get what we were handing out. So there was some minor chaos but I know they were blessed by what God was providing for them. Even thought surrounding villages came, we were able to feed all the children, God is well practiced at multiplying food, I praise Him for that! The one picture with white people surrounded by African children is of us volunteers and the children of the village of Massessi. The other picture is of Mama Santa and me. That was at a literacy class for the Acholi women, I go so I can try to learn their language and hang out with them. We start teaching the Suubi women English on Thursday, hopefully it will go over well and they will be able to learn from us even though we don't speak their language.
I've also been hanging out with Betty (the woman who helps do laundry) and her baby KimBD, and Daniel who all live behind us. They are so much fun, they love to socialize and love to be around people. Betty laughs all the time and thinks I'm way too skinny so she's trying to fatten me up before I go back home (even though she is skinny herself). Daniel likes music a lot, last night the 3 of us listened to the songs on my computer and talked for a few hours. I love learning all I can from and about the Ugandan people. This country is beautiful as are the ones who dwell within it!
