Impact from last year seen in Uganda

When we finished last year's trip we left changed and satisfied but did not realize the impact our time there would have. This saturday morning (May 30) we woke up to a demonstration of the Art school made up of 10 street kids from the north at the FOCUS camp on Lake Victoria.
After last years program, one of the Ugandan students called Andrew, responded to God's call to care for these children and begin this ministry. With the investment of Amanda (our freshmen from Wellesley College) he began to invite kids in. Amanda came over in January 09 to help and two other Ugandan students with us last year, Saul and Regis, are part of the team.
I was amazed and humbled that this powerful work began out of the seed of God's work last year.

Calvin, the oldest boy is very gifted and his painting is his journey from seeing his village burnt to the ground by the LRA and darkness to more and more light in his life.
