Sponsorship Day... Celebrate!!!
Meet Mary & Godfrey.
Bob and I sponsor them through Hope 4 Kids. We signed up as their sponsors this past January when Tom Eggum and the staff of Hope 4 Kids came to HOPE Church in Arizona to speak about their organization & mission trips. Child sponsorship is something they are passionate about. For a small monthly fee you can help a child go to school for an important education. They also receive routine health checks AND you gain a pen pal. Today I got to meet Mary and Godfrey in person. They are from different villages and as sweet as can be!
A special dinner & celebration was held today (July 22) for the sponsored children and their sponsors. Most on our team already had sponsored children but other team members signed up for sponsorship while on our trip.
All were able to enjoy this day together.
Delicious meal.
Sam and April.
April met Sam 4 years ago when she came to Uganda so this was a special time for them.
I gave Godfrey & Mary the book of Penelope. Godfrey read each page.
Also gave Godfrey & Mary markers and paper tablets too.
Godfrey wanted to draw pictures of Penelope...
... and Godfrey is a good artist!
GREAT job!!
Mary & I had fun painting our nails pink.
Pink balloons to match our nails!
Smiles!!!
Not the best photo... but this pic shows the whole group of happy children with their happy sponsors.
A wonderful day!
So happy you were able to meet the children you and Bob sponsor...yes Godfrey is an excellent artist, and Mary really liked her pink nails!
ReplyDeleteMary & Godfrey are both so sweet. I wish Bob could have met them in person. Hopefully another year Bob and I can go to Uganda together!
