Grateful to God

It's difficult to capture in words the emotions of this day. We were greeted by the Kampala Village people with great fanfare and the elder women shaking gourds and dancing and singing in traditional grass skirts (one woman in a wooden mask acted as a comical diversion.) In contrast, the series of speeches that followed were very formal and serious with prominent speakers from the Water Board, Councilmen, teachers, Village Pastors, Village Health Trainer. Several themes emerged: the grateful attitude of everyone to God and His provision, and also to H2O Life and their gracious giving.
Also, my students' bright smiles keep drawing me eagerly to the classroom. They are voracious readers who pour over all the learning materials I put in front of them. My students are a reminder that education is a key that opens doors of exciting opportunities and that it is also a privilege.
