Happy 20th Anniversary ACT! April 22, 2023


Generous, Richard, Jesse in the early years of ACT  (Jesse is 19 now)     


(Generous) It was April 22, 2003 when my husband Richard and I sat down to write letters seeking for people with expertise in writing strategic plans. The purpose was for us to learn how to plan for projects that could help our community, especially the sick. How do we get them transported from their village homes to hospitals for treatment? Means of transport was a big challenge by then, causing patients to die in the hand-carried stretcher before reaching the hospitals. 

Richard and I wrote a number of letters, all handwritten. We sent them to different people in different countries that we had found by searching online while we visited the British Council and American Embassy Resource Centres in Kampala. We waited on responses and by God's grace only one person out of many responded - Sue Waechter, Midland, Michigan. This was a miracle to us. Somehow, Sue felt called to respond. Sue later introduced us to her husband, John. We connected, we became great family friends, Turinawes in Uganda and Waechter in USA. Over email, Sue helped us with a strategic plan. We started walking the journey of community transformation together. What happened next was unbelievable!

(Sue) Upon receiving the letter!


Generous and I hope you enjoy reading about some of our favorite moments during this blog season! Stay tuned!

    What a joyful noise you have created for so many people to be all they could be in God's eyes. You answered the call from Richard and Generous and now, 20 years later, there are multiple programs of support in agriculture, education, music, health, self-reliance, self worth, and connection to others. Your love and caring for all God's children has been exponential. Thank you Sue! You have touched us all!

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

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...
