The children took a trip to to a beach of sorts to celebrate their birthdays and had such a marvelous time! Here Becky gives us an account of the day:
"Upon arrival the children headed straight to the water to take their first swim at a beach. We then had lunch, it was a meal to remember as it had all of the local foods that the children love so much. Next the little ones went to the park to play and the old ones took a boat ride. We celebrated their birthdays, shared cake and returned home. Everything was so perfect!"

Visit to Masese
The children visited their parents, relatives and friends in the slums of Masese during their holiday. They all dress to impress when they go, a sign of respect in Ugandan culture. Aren't they just darling?

Backpacks
If you offered to put together a backpack for your sponsor child or another child and you have not sent it to or contacted Lisa McIntosh, please do so. :) She is trying to coordinate with all of you so that she can take them with her to Uganda in August.
Land Title
PFP finally owns a Freehold Title on the land that we purchased two and a half years ago! This is what we mean when we refer to "Africa time." Haha.

We're currently selecting a contractor to install a larger septic system and to build a perimeter wall and the multi-use facility.
