For everyone who has followed and contributed to this post for almost two years we are thrilled to report we travelled to Uganda over spring break!!! We had the most incredible trip and returned safely home just under the wire as the whole world began to close their borders to foreign travellers! (Uganda closed its borders the day after we flew out for home! The story of the trip home is a separate story entirely! We are thankful to be home COVID free!) Because of the overwhelmingly generous response of the Cowichan Valley to our ongoing bottle drive and our last minute drive onsite at the bottle depot on Norcross Road as well as two years of diligent hard work form our family as a team we were able to give generously to many families in Uganda during our visit. We enjoyed this trip immensely! We think you will be able to see that from the pictures. This was a life changing trip. And again we want to say a great big THANK YOU to so many of you who responded to this post and contacted us with loads of bottles and cans! Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. You were one of the reasons this trip was possible! In the few photos we can show here you will see a big pile of bags from the market of beans, rice, posho (maize flour), sugar and oil. We were able to give this generous pile of staple foods to varying degrees to several families on our trip! It was also nice to be able to give cash for school fees and other needs families had. You will see a photo of a group of kids eating large mangoes... that was the school where Mark used to work and we were able to provide a tasty meal and a mango and bottle of soda for each of the nearly 200 kids and staff of site. AND.. stay tuned for another bottle drive beginning within a week! We will let you know what we are raising funds for this time! Enjoy the photos! Wish we could add more.
