Thursday

Our dear Team One left in the early morning. Dick, Barbara and Diana were so valuable to our work and they will be so missed. Christopher drove them all the way to Entebbe with a stop at the equator to shop and lunch. Barbara left on a Brussels flight at about 11 pm and Dick and Diana left on a KLM flight to Nairobi and Amsterdam around 8 pm. We send prayers for a safe journey.

Sue is a bit better with her COVID struggle. Our special waiter, Ivan, has been taking very good care of her. He has brought her soup and hot tea and watched out for her welfare. She actually went outside of her room to get some fresh air in the afternoon sun.

Dave and Karen met a new driver, Davis, who is well known among our staff. Since Christopher, our trusted driver, was taking the first team to Entebbe, Davis stepped in to transport us. Davis took Dave and Karen to Muko High School just after Team One departed. 

Since the concert was over, the MUSIC students were in the mood for a change! Keneth brought out all the African instruments and they rehearsed for most of the morning. Karen was able to take some videos and photos of students playing the lovely various instruments. Their sound is unique! Keneth would like to incorporate African and Western instruments to make a different and marvelous sound. The students all had one closure class before lunch, we said goodbye and talked about the future of their work. The students understand that they are doing something unusual and wonderful. Keneth has a vision for the future of our students and we are lucky to have him leading our students. They like him and will be ready for success under his leadership.


Dave worked with Prudance, our High School bursar, in the morning. He and Prudance had some remarkable breakthroughs in understanding one another. Dave is very encouraged about having Prudance as our financial leader.

Around 11 am Dave began his financial training. Most of the high school staff attended along with Judith, Onesmas, Pamella, and Thomas attended from the ACT staff. Sue and Dave had prepared an exceptional session that explained budgeting and finance, including the reason ACT can provide a security fence and solar power but have difficulty paying our staff. The attendees were very responsive and fun! We feel so blessed to enjoy our relationship. 

Dave and Karen returned to the hotel about 2:30pm and were able to nap for a little bit. We met Sue outdoors at the Cephas Inn for dinner and a long talk. Our Cephas friends have become so important to us. Claire also greets us every morning and fills in on Ivan's day off. 

It is chilly here- many of you probably imagine it is very warm, but because we are at a high altitude it is cool and breezy. Our friends here wear wintery coats and we have been wishing for warmer clothing.

Sending our love to you all- thank you for your messages in response to the Blog!

A Treasure Name Lovina

Image
 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...
