Spreading Knowledge and Love in Kampala
Another glorious day in Kampala brought us the chance to make a significant impact. We delivered all the donated books and Bibles to the daycare, and they were blown away by the quantity. Operation Uganda (OU) opens its library to other schools without one, so these books will benefit many children.
OU also runs programs for older students, so we visited a secondary school (high school) to hear from students in the Shine program for girls and the Strength program for boys. Every one of the 1,500 students goes through this Christian-based curriculum. In the Shine program, girls spoke about their value, uniqueness, and how they are fearfully and wonderfully made, emphasizing God's immense love for them. The boys shared their experiences and lessons from the Strength program. It was beautiful and amazing to see these young people learning such empowering truths in a public school setting.
We ended the day by serving lunch to the daycare students, enjoying lunch with the staff, conducting workshops for the staff, and, of course, ending with afternoon tea.
Stay tuned for more updates!
