What we've been up to...

We arrived in Kibaale on Sunday evening. The Kibaale Community Centre where the Dycks live and work is truly beautiful, and the people are genuinely lovely. The Staff and Kids are very warm and welcoming... and the Kids are quite shy (and very respectful ...with "Good Morning Uncle James" when Jamie greets them :0) Very cute.

(we're being introduced to the Students & Staff)

(the Nursery, Primary and Secondary Students are separated into 3 different locations on the Campus... these are some of the Primary Students).

We're having a lot of fun hangin' with the Dyck family. Joel, Avin, Finn & Mazzy are right in their element and are happy to show us the ropes around here. Jeff & Shan are amazing hosts, making us feel very welcome and loved. It is very fun to be back together with them!! ...nice to hear Jeffy calling Jamie "jamie-lynn spears" again :0) haha.

On Monday, Jeff just gave us the tour of the grounds and the projects that they have under way (very impressive!).

(some of the Kitchen staff peeling Matooke ...which is a staple food in Uganda. They boil it and serve it ...similar in texture to our Sweet Potatoes)

(this is the Medical Clinic - which Jeff was in charge of building - and it it continuously busy! This Clinic serves the Kids & Staff at their Centre as well as the People in their Community. They have assessment/treatment rooms, a functioning lab, and a pharmacy dispensary on site. I wish I would have taken a picture of the clinic we visited 5 min down the road... not even remotely comparable!!).

(their Chicken project... which is supplying eggs and meat (& soon fish food!!) for their Centre)

(the newest project underway... a Fish Farm! I'm not sure I can do it justice by explaining it... but it will be part of a much bigger plan for sustained living... chicken waste feeds fish, fish waste feeds crop, harvested crop feeds chicken...) ...I think.

We were praying like mad for Rain to come b4 the Fish-Expert arrives this next week... and apparently, the Heavens have opened up!! Rainy season has finally arrived!!
