Our sweet Peruth Babirye turns 9 years old and is blessed with a birthday celebration!! 

(Thank you to Everett for fundraising money which helped provide meat for today and also firewood for cooking meals!)

It was quite the day on Sunday for everyone at HOOL, there was some ups and downs for sure!  Peruth was able to video chat with her sponsor family for a short time so they could say Happy Birthday to her.  She celebrated along side of her HOOL family and some school mates as well.  It all started with a good meal (they are using their new dishes from our dear friend  Laurie too, no more eating with their fingers!), cake cutting, a new dress and color pencils from her sponsor family too.  And of course there was dancing!!  

Salakiiya and Peruth enjoyed being front and center very much, especially being joined by caretaker Iryne who they love so very much.

Today we had a little accident with hot tea and our sweet Annisha got burnt.  We were able to help her with the use of our first aid kit that was gifted to us during Rachael and Edwards stay so we are thankful for that very much!  

Life doesn’t always go as planned and can sometimes be difficult and confusing for orphaned children.  That is why we have made it our lifelong goal to provide a better life for the children in our care.  They can always go to bed at night and know that they are safe and secure at the orphanage and that they are loved and cherished too.  

We love our HOOL family so much and feel so blessed to share our lives and experiences with our gracious sponsor families and generous donors.

Thank you all for being such a blessing to these beautiful children.
