Tough times in NE Uganda
By Michael Hildenbrand | Project Leader
We had hoped to be back in Uganda by now, but the country is in lock down again. Schools are closed and residents are restricted from traveling outside their district. The spring rains did not develop as they had hoped, so their crops are not doing well. We are still raising money to purchase goats for widows and orphans for our next distribution. They are greatly needed. We had hoped to be in Uganda in January to help with another goat donation, but it looks unlikely right now.
Thank you for your faithful support of this life changing program.

Still going strong
By Michael Hildenbrand | Project Leader
Covid has really affected our ability to travel to Uganda and participate in the Goat Distribution Project, but it has not stopped our Ugandan partners. They continue to purchase female goats that are pregnant and work with village leaders to select candidates to receive a goat. The candidate must be a widow, an orphan, or have a handicap. As funds are raised here in the US it is a simple process to wire the funds to purchase goats to our Ugandan partner NGO. So don't stop giving! We hope to be able to return to Uganda in January. Out August trip has been cancelled. Thank you for your support of this truly life changing project. I have personally seen the positive impact it has on the lives of the recipients.

More goats to be given this summer
By Michael Hildenbrand | Project Leader
If the Covid pandemic is over we hope to take a team to Uganda in August. The purpose of this team is to spend time with the 120 students that we sponsor to attend boarding school. Whenever a team goes to Uganda we always start our time with a "goat distibution". That is when we spend a day in a village and help to distribute pregnant goats to widows and orphans in the village. It is a grea way for our team members to get first hand experience in rural village life. It is a great time of celebration in the village, and everyone comes. Local governemnt officials are usually there to clebrate with the villagers. Our teams love this event. We have given close to 1000 goats over the past 5-10 years. It is your generosity that makes this project possible.
