Youth Camp


AFC sponsors a camp for members of youth groups throughout Uganda. The week-long camp covers life skills, spiritual strength, and HIV/AIDS prevention (see picture), among other things. We visited the camp today and jumped right in with the teenagers as they sang, danced and clapped. We also listened to Oscar give a rousing testimony of his faith and how belief in God is the foundation for leading a good life through the temptations teenagers face.


After visiting the youth camp, there was a program at the AFC office to say good-bye to Sherie. A speaker from each department said something they had learned from her during her two weeks in Uganda and she showed them a video she had prepared for them about AFC. We are now back at Mamba Point so she can finish packing before catching her plane.
Several people have asked about Sherie's hair. Let me just say that she will fit well in Eugene, but no, it is not dreadlocks. She is styling.

What a PERFECT picture - makes me laugh. Snowed her again- Minda and Suki are not pleased about making yellow snow. Do they hand out condoms as part of the Avoid Sex program? Wondering if there is anything more proactive in place besides just hoping no one has sex.

Bye!
