Legacy

What will ACT's legacy be in Muko Sub County and the US? 

In Uganda: we know for sure many things have been accomplished over the last 20 years and to list them all here would exceed the wording for this blog. A few examples are: nearly every farmer in Muko Sub County has been trained in perma-gardening and how to grow iron-rich beans; hundreds of kids have attended school because of devoted sponsorships - some have gone on for vocational education; some academically gifted students have obtained university degrees; the students and community have benefitted from the celebration of music, both Western and Ugandan music; thousands of community members have learned public health methods for better sanitation, decreasing domestic violence, education about alcohol; students in schools and church congregations have watched many dramas about different topics to enrich their lives; more than fifty artisans have made and sold their handcrafts to ACT;  the whole community has benefitted from a new and improved model high school (Muko High School); there is a community library at the ACT Resource Center and so on. 

In the US the legacy is also significant: hundreds of families have been able to partner with people in Muko to improve their lives through our own financial privilege; people learned about others in the world outside their local bubble which enriches everyone's lives; people have made friendships with individuals through ACT programs; people have had the experience of traveling to Uganda to commune and worship with the Ugandans and experience their wonderful hospitality; people here can feel good about bringing people from all places together through their generosity; we, here, have witnessed the incredibly strong faith of those in Muko who so strongly rely on God.

What will your legacy be? Have you considered continuing your gifts to ACT and the people of Muko through a legacy gift when you are no longer here? We are designing a new Planned Giving Program for ACT supporters to consider "keeping it going." You will receive more information about this later.

We are also reminding everyone that Honorariums and Memorials are available to ACT. Consider someone's birthday, Mother's/Father's Day, and other special days with those you love. Extend that love in a gift to ACT.

We all want to leave this earth a bit better than when we arrived. All of you (in Uganda and the US) have already begun that legacy. We thank you for who you are and that we can love each other so faithfully. May you have a blessed Holy Week.

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...
