Home Stretch

Greeting you all!

Continuing to use Reverend Joshua's car today, the saga goes on! In spite of efforts to get Christopher's van back we have not been successful. Christopher believes we may be able to get it back before we leave on Saturday for the airport, however, Guma has assured us we can rent another vehicle in case it is necessary.

Sue spent her morning working with the sewers to finish the new gorilla pattern. A cute gorilla emerged! Several of the sewers brought babies on their backs so the Centre was live with the sounds of little voices.

A very young sewer! Her name is Choice.


Sue with the sewers - see the gorilla in Phoebe's hand!

Karen spent the morning with Keneth observing a music class. They were learning about Bach and Handel and the Baroque period of music so Karen was able to play for them from Bach's first violin concerto and Handel's Sonata VI. The students have to memorize a lot of  information for their testing this fall.

Dave worked in the office with Prudance discussing the numbers of students currently enrolled. He also met with Rev. Philip about future strategic planning for MHS. In the late afternoon, Sue walked through the reformatted Muko High School Strategic Plan with Rev. Philip, Eric, and Peace who is our librarian at MHS.

Since Christopher had to take our car to try and settle the police issue, Dave and Karen walked down from MHS to the ARC, about a mile downhill.

In the afternoon, the two Honor Selection teams came in to meet about the scholarships for the children at Murole and MHS. The two hour meeting was productive with everyone learning new ideas for moving forward.

While we waited for Christopher to go back up to the police station again, Dave and Karen also met with Guma, Judith, and Generous about our vocational students. We again agreed on our policy of only allotting $700 per year for vocational study and looked at every student to be sure they were falling within the  guideline. One of our students is going to have to change to a different school as her $700 has already been spent and her vocational school is requiring fees for a fourth term. Karen plans to type up a revised policy plan.

The team arrived back at the Cephas close to 6 pm. We are planning our final packing- we are incorporating suitcase inside suitcase to get the 9 remaining  suitcases home among three of us. 

We are SO looking forward to coming home! We have had a warm reception here and we will miss our "second home" at the Cephas Inn, especially the staff in the dining room. See you soon!

A Treasure Name Lovina

 In 2008, the US Travel Team and the ACT Staff established a program, which at the time was named Muko Empowerment Program. This program was created for the purpose of providing a market for local women with HIV to sell their baskets and beaded jewelry. There were about 25 women in the beginning all very eager to participate to earn cash to be able to send their children to school.  2008  Guma with MEP Weavers 2008 With Guma (Alexander Gumoshabe) leading the MEP Program, it grew and grew. We have carried thousands of baskets, jewelry and sewn items back in our suitcases for 20 years! Soon after we began the program, we learned of Lovina! Lovina was clearly the standout best basket weaver in our program. Lovina is lame, unable to use her legs except to walk in a squat position. She is such a strong woman. Her lack of able-ness does not even slow her down. We soon gave her the title of Basket Quality Manager and her responsibility was to come to the ACT Resource Center once...

Hello Everyone! To those in the US - Happy Spring, the snow is melting and March Madness is almost over (Kansas Jayhawks are still in it as I write this!) To those in Uganda - Happy back to school finally after such a long shut down for COVID. Today I am reflecting on the beginnings of ACT. The very first contact as most of you know was a handwritten letter from Richard and Generous Turinawe - written on April 22, 2003. I had no idea of who they were and in fact, I had to look up where Uganda was in the continent of Africa! I'll bet some of you don't know I still have that original letter. Here it is! I looked at that letter on my desk for a couple of weeks and my heart stirred! I wrote Richard back and the rest is history. The first trip was September 2006 when John and I traveled there. The second trip was the first Travel Team in 2008. As of now, we've made 15 team trips to Muko and just scheduled our 16th for August 2022. So, I always hesitate when people ask me, "...

ACT's Sustainable Future

Image
How can we make ACT more self-sustainable? That was the question that led the ACT US Board to charter the FUNDS (Financial Ugandan Needs for Development & Sustainability) Task Force in early 2020 to research and propose new models of sustainability for ACT, for both programs in Uganda and ACT US.  FUNDS Task Force members include (from Muko, Uganda) Alexander "Guma" Gumoshabe, Generous Turinawe, Onesmas Arinda, Ken Blickenstaff (Indianapolis), and from Midland: Bill Busch, Kelly Busse, Gail Hoffman, Mark Maxwell, Roger Moll, Dave Molzahn, Lynn Pottenger and Sue Waechter (Traverse City).  The Task Force brainstormed possible social businesses that could be run in Uganda to provide ongoing revenue to support the ACT Uganda programs. There are many business models for a social business (also known as venture philanthropy), but generally it is a non-dividend company dedicated to solving human problems. In our case, the goal would be to raise money for ACT programs, with seco...
