July Update!

Ten New Children!
Moroto, Uganda

We want to thank all of our new sponsors for joining the PFP family! Our Ugandan director, Emma, is in Moroto, Uganda giving the good news to our ten newest children! These children are all orphaned and living in extremely desperate situations. Emma will return home with them shortly and they will begin school at the beginning of September. We are so happy for them! Thank you for your generosity! Pictures of the children will be posted in next month's update.

Annual in-person PFP Board Meeting

Back: Ian, Susan, Ellie, Tomasz
Front: Lisa, Brandi, Amphy, Heidi, Monika

The directors of PFP meet monthly via Skype and gather once a year for a three day in-person meeting. All nine directors of Peace for Paul met in Portland, Oregon to discuss and develop the five year strategic plan for Peace for Paul. It was a very productive meeting and we look forward to the bright future of PFP. Thank you to our supporters for making this work a success and for helping us to change the lives of these sweet children.
