I am planning to come to Canada with two of our boys at the end of August and stay for
about 6 weeks. My husband, Robert will not becoming for this trip, as we are still new to
the land and have decided that it is too soon for both of us to be away from our family
and land with all of our new responsibilities (i.e. the farm and general upkeep). I am
coming to raise funds for our operational budget and for a well on our land that will be
used by our family and the people in our village to access clean water. I will be holding
Ugandan Craft Parties again, if anyone would like to host one, please email me,

Also, if anyone would like me to come and speak/present at their church, group/club, or
workplace please let me know. I also need help to raise the funds for our airfare, help
with this would be most appreciated.

Many of you know, Robert and I (and baby Zion) were robbed at gunpoint after leaving
the bank. I am very sorry for the funds that were lost during this event. We have since
made many safety measures, together with the help of the bank to prevent such an
event from happening again. We are most thankful to those that helped us raise back the
funds that were lost. It was a very traumatic experience, but I am receiving counselling
and we really appreciate everyone's support and prayers during this time. On a positive
note, we are most thankful that our lives were spared.

Everyone is really enjoying our new family home and living on the land. It is such a
beautiful, peaceful place to raise all of our children. We are extremely blessed! Thank you
to everyone that made this possible.

With the help of three volunteers from Kampala BibleCollege, we now hold Children's
Church on our land every Sunday from 11:00am -12:30pm. Recently we had about 150
children attend.

We Have Pigs!

Thanks to the generosity of friends of the Abetavu Family,we were able to buy 10 piglets.
This is such a great opportunity to teach ourkids animal husbandry and helps us work
towards our goal ofsustainability/income generating projects here in Uganda.
