Joshua and a team of his high school classmates from Oaks Christian School are on a mission trip in Uganda right now. They have been working on service projects and sharing their faith with Ugandan students. Today they got to have some fun at the Croc Farm and visit the Equator. If you want to […]
Please allow me to announce the good news that Jim was awarded the 2013 Warren Christopher International Lawyer of the Year Award by the California State Bar for his work in Uganda with the judiciary to help juvenile and adult prisoners receive access to justice in a timely manner. The award ceremony, on October 12, […]
You know the disappointment you feel when you are expecting to eat something hot, but it’s cold? Or when you’re expecting to drink a glass of milk, but get orange juice instead? Neither of those is a pleasant surprise. But I had a very pleasant surprise on our final day of clinic in Uganda when we […]
We returned “home” to Gaba on Thursday night. We had a couple of days off clinic to catch up. Since Jim and I had missed our 23rd wedding anniversary while I was on the road, we went on a long date on Friday. On Saturday we took a trip to Jinja. On the way we picked up […]
We’ve spent the past couple of days in Mbarara. I must admit that we’ve been on the road so long that I’m not sure exactly where we are on the map or on the calendar. The places and days begin to run together. It’s good to have photos to remember and to share with you. […]
On our way from Kabale to Rukunjiri, we stopped to see the view of Lake Bunyonyi. We took this time to take a photo of our medical team. The Gregston family is on the left. Jessica and I are in the center. David (our driver, clinic helper, and “big brother”) is in the back. Dr. Joseph […]
We are now in southwestern Uganda near the border of Rwanda, in the city of Kabale. It is much colder here than any other place I have been in Uganda. We are out in the country, surrounded by mountains and trees. We started our two-day clinic today in the Revival Tabernacle Church. We are focusing […]
Since arriving in Uganda, I have enjoyed many reunions with people, places, and things. It has been great to be reunited with our medical team – the Gregston family and our Ugandan friends Dr. Joseph, Faith, and David. I have enjoyed seeing familiar places and friendly people. Eating familiar local food has also been wonderful […]
We headed to Rushere (southwest of Gaba) on Tuesday afternoon. The roads were under construction much of the way, but the parts that were finished were smooth and fast. Thankfully, we did not get a flat tire on the van (the result of the bumpy roads) until we arrived to the guest house where we […]
We have arrived safely in Uganda. We are excited to join the rest of the team. The Gregston family is pictured on the left (Jake, Jay, Jayne, Jill, and Jared). Their friend from Oklahoma is the tall guy in the back row (Kyle Mueller). We are on the right (Jessica, Joline, and Jim). We are […]
