Fond Farewell to Operation Uganda: A Day of Reflection and Celebration

Our final day with Operation Uganda (OU) was filled with mixed emotions as we were sad to see this incredible experience come to an end. We arrived at the daycare just as the children were sitting down to their breakfast of hot tea and little doughnuts.

Later, we visited a local primary school and met with the headmaster in his office. He warmly greeted us and expressed gratitude for our involvement with OU. The school has had a long-standing partnership with OU, which sponsors children to attend classes there. Recently, OU renovated four classrooms, adding fresh paint, additional windows, and new desks for both students and teachers. While touring the school, we noticed Bible verses displayed prominently, and the school’s motto, "Work Hard and Fear God," serves as an inspiring message to all.

OU also runs a program in the school that teaches students about values and purity. We had the privilege of hearing from some students about the lessons they've learned through the program.

Returning to the daycare for our final visit, we helped feed the children one last time. After the children left, we surprised the staff with a lunch of KFC chicken, which they love! It was a wonderful way to celebrate and show our appreciation for this caring and dedicated staff, who share the love of Jesus daily with their students and the community.

We concluded our day with a visit to a local crafts market and an amazing cultural show featuring songs and dances from different Ugandan tribes.

Stay tuned for more updates!
