Northgate Baptist and Food For the Hungry

Northgate Baptist partners with Food For the Hungry and a small village called Marare, in Uganda, to help them become a self sustainable community. From building classrooms, supporting entrepreneurship and leadership skills, to sponsoring children from the community, we hope to help transform Marare to the point where they can help themselves as well as neighbouring communities.

In partnership with FH Canada

The Last Post....

We have been saying goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. We have goodbye fatigue.  A major step was the FH staff this morning.

I do want to say that I think that that the organization is getting excellent value with the staff. I am writing up an introduction to all of them, with full names, trainings, roles and family info, but it's not ready yet ... but there is no question that the people here (Moses, Molex, David, Julius, Miriam, Sarah, David, Stephen) are doing good work and are worth the money spent. I especially want to acknowledge a few - Irene, Sam and Edith - who are actually volunteers!

One thing we hear over and over is that they want us to keep coming. I'm still processing all of that ... it's a lot for us to come here, especially when you compare it to the scale of what things cost here. But I have taken a few key people aside to look them in the eyes and grill them on this. they are emphatic that it is worth it ... the face to face relationship aspect of this work is key.

Anyways, that's it'. I am writing this in the bus on the highway to there, in between the massive speed bumps (yes, on the highway) in each village. We are about to debrief at Jinja and then the FH Kampala office, after which we as a team will start scattering. Edith I and Jessica go on to a further adventure in the suburbs of Kampala that I'm sure we ill tell all of you about when we get home.

God is good all of the time. All of the time. He is good. For that is His nature. See you all back home.
