Maize...maize...maize...our two gardens have yielded the largest crop of maize we have had this
year! The kids have been busy harvesting, shucking and removing the kernels. They lay the kernels on
the ground to dry out, and this will be ground into the maize-meal known as posho, the main staple food
in Uganda. Because posho and kidney
beans mixed with veggies are the daily
fare here, not only at OOH but in Uganda
at large, this provides us with food by the
work of our hands, and provides the
children with valuable life lessons from
the garden.
Since we are talking about food, we
might as well talk about our new kitchen!
We had been more and more aware of our
need for a permanent kitchen and had
been praying for the
funds needed – He always provides
what we need, and this time, like a few times before, He called a group called
Dream of a Better World to the
challenge.
This group of teens and their parents from Hawaii and California sold soup mugs in order to raise the funds – here's a group photo of our kids sending their thanks! The new kitchen is well equipped to cook for a multitude, with giant wood-burning stoves, a dish-washing bay, and even a “drive--through” serving window! Though we mostly walk past the serving window. :)
We feel very blessed to have
this need met, all the glory goes to God
who continually supplies all our needs.
We also feel very blessed to call the amazing kids (and adults) and the supporters of the Dream Team, our friends - all the way from U.S.A. to Uganda.
Thank You!
