These are some pictures from my Mom's recent trip to Uganda in August/September 2009. She has been supporting many children and ministries in Uganda for a number of years. While she was over there she taught in some villages and met some of the orphans. She loved it even though she missed the comforts of home, like electricity, running water and toilets. She is ready to go back some day.
