Return Ministries & village friends


Today was a lighter yet full day spent with Return Ministries children and surrounding village kids.
My team is staying at the Return Guest House in Kampala, which supports Return Ministries children's home, run by Pastor Samuel and his wife Sarah. 
These kids are amazing in every way and truly exhibit such promise and leadership and care for one another. 
The afternoon was spent hearing Daniel play guitar and the other 14 kids sing beautiful, original music  - all self taught! while other neighboring village kids played around the house and yard and delighted in the "Mzungu" visitors.

My Ugandan "twin girls" Bebita & Nakato who live at Return, along with a cutie little boy in the village behind their house who followed me around.

Walking towards the well and Pastor Samuel's land for the new Return Ministries home, church and guesthouse. 

 These precious kids met us on their way to the well for fresh, clean water - they make this journey twice each day, some of the children no older than 3-4 years. On our way back up to the road, I offered to carry two of the full jugs and they were heavy for me, Let alone a small child... Such strength and courage all around.

Full of water, these large jugs are near 40 pounds each when full!
