Thoughts from Helen
Hello again from Mukono!
Much has happened since Marks first note from us - we have returned from our Safari and Nile river trip - 6 hours by Toyota van over deeply rutted roads - sometimes having to drive off the road to get around the potholes. We highly recommend prayer and Toyotas - it was amazing - having lunch with warthogs roaming around and the hippos, elephants, giraffes and all the wild life was awe inspiring. It is hard not to talk in cliches but it is incredible to experience God's creation and feel like we are living in the zoo. The monkeys chatter in the trees over head and there is always sound - the most wonderful sounds being that of the children's laughter. They are always quick to want to play and love to sing and spend time with all of us. Schafer usually has 3 children hanging off of him. We are learning much about Ugandan culture and the complicated process of caring for so many children from different backgrounds and raising them with love, faith, and wisdom.
We are all well and thank you for your prayers. We will have lots of pictures when we get home.
This is a wonderful home for children and the needs are great but it is inspiring to see how God is working here - there are wonderful people following God's guidance with humility and very good common sense and wisdom. We are blessed to be here.
Blessings to you all, with love,
Helen, Mark and Schafer

Dear Helen, Mark & Schafer:
Good to hear of your safe arrivals no matter where you are traveling. Africa is amazing in it's beauty and people. It can only be experienced by being there. You'll have so much to tell when you get home. Looking forward to hearing of your experiences. We continue to pray God's protection and good health while you are there. I'm sure you are giving great insight and help in the medical field. God bless! Kathy & Ray Cobb
