Warm Greetings  Friend,

Schools have not yet opened in Uganda, but on Tuesday, several students and staff gathered at Mustard Seed for lunch and a small celebration. An American couple, Bernie Milano and Sharon Pierson, longtime sponsors and supporters of the school, were in Uganda and arranged to pay a visit. 

It's hard to say who was more excited. Sharon messaged us, "an incredible experience. Brought happy tears—really felt the emotion of these precious souls — their courage, their effort, their perseverance!!"

And Davis, now a university student, wrote a rap song of appreciation that included, "My mother had no solution, the road was unclear, then you showed up. You strengthened my future with a strong foundation. You stood like my parents from nursery to university, from classroom to lecture room."  

How I wish every supporter could spend at least 24 hours getting to know the students, staff, and school that is moving mountains.

Gratefully, 
Elaine
