When we go to Osanidde, we love loving...and...we love being loved by the orphans!
We don't really think of them as orphans...we think of them as our children!
You would have to be there to hug and be hugged
to realize just how precious and special they really are!

Praise God!
Who gives both Living Water...and...water for living!
For months the the children and their caretakers at Osanidde survived on polluted water from Lake Victoria, boiling it for every use.
In January funds were provided from ebay book sales, to dig a well and install a fresh-water pump.
Obviously the children love to play in the water;
but more importantly they now have the benefit of some fresh water they need for everyday use.
One very urgent goal is to provide Osanidde with one more well and pump...which will cost approximately $2,000 in American currency.

The storehouse as it appeared after the boat was unloaded

These two photos show more than three tons of food provisions and supplies after all was stacked inside the storehouse.
Enough dry goods and staples to last approximately two to three months.

God is still Jehovah Jirah

We had with us, $3,500.00 donated by West Valley Foursquare Church in Yakima, Wa
as well as $1.000.00 that was proceeds from the first three months of Frank's ebay book sales.
The very first thing we did, was to send a boat to Kampala for food and supplies.
As you can see...the boat was so loaded down, it could not even get to shore.
The porters carried 120 pound bags of beans, rice, flour, and various other foodstuffs and supplies through the water and approximately one quarter mile uphill to the storehouse.

An empty storehouse, January 29, 2009

When we arrived at Osanidde on January 29th, the storehouse where food and provisions were kept was nearly empty. Barely one day's supply of food.
The directors had no idea where food for the next day would come from.
They live by faith.
