Emma Visits Moroto
The Karamojong tribe is originally from the Moroto District in northern Uganda. Our Director, Emma, hadn't been back to visit since he left when he was a small child. The goal of this trip was to find two needy children who would benefit from our program. Emma quickly identified Tikol Joseph and Angella Joseph, met with the local chair and received permission to return to Mbiko with the two boys.

Other News
Naru, Friday's aunt, named her new baby after Heidi and Tomasz's daughter Madison. They were honored and can't wait to meet the Ugandan Madison!
Doctor Mufumba and his family have asked to continue to care for Apurio and Longoli! He wrote a very touching email, here is a short excerpt:
"Surely Longoli and Apurio have become a part of my family. Many visitors ask me whether we have triplets or if Jonah (Mufumba's biological son) closely follows twins. You find the three of them doing the same things at the same time (e.g. playing with toys, singing, dancing, greeting in our local way, eating, etc.)... Dada and Rose plus all the rest are there to help them grow and develop to their best."
