2nd Brown Team Returns to Uganda


Caleb Brown and his team of Liz, Ashley, and John have arrived back in Kampala after a wonderful time in Southern Sudan with the kids of St. Bartholomew's orphanage. They visited foster families, took the kids to the health center, and helped with various construction projects.

John and Liz were only able to stay for 1 month, so the team came back down to Kampala (Uganda's capital) to escort Liz and John to the airport.

John was able to use some guitar skills in making some music for the kids and the community. As the team traveled home, they hit some torrential rains (which are coming down so hard they are destroying the crops). Edwin Angote, our regional coordinator wrote the following:

"We are currently in Kampala after a long journey from Kajo-Keji. It took us 14 hours from Adjumani to Kampala due to heavy rains. Big trucks heavily packed from Kampala got stuck on the way. It reached a point where there was no way through to Kampala. Our bus got stuck twice trying to turn to the opposite direction so that we could use a different route. All was in vain - we had to use the same route and luckily enough the truck that got stuck was rescued and we were able to go through. This happened 4 times in different areas!"
