The Shoe Shack

My roommate and buddy Catherine and I had the blessing of sorting and organizing hundreds and hundreds of shoes . . .

The shoes came in huge duffle bags that sailed over on the Container from Portland OR.

Mum Grace and Mum Domalie helped us sort the shoes into piles of flip flops and school shoes . . .

Then we separated the flip flops into small, med and large. 

The school shoes needed to be sorted into piles of boys and girls and then by size (smallest against the South wall, largest by the North wall).

Notes From My Journal and Memories- Part 4 Meeting with the Secondary School Students

Saturday June 29th
Crown City Secondary School-

From Seeta our team took the hour bus ride to Crown City Secondary School where we met up with around 135 students (ages 14-18) who grew up in the Seeta and Lira Orphanges. These children now attend and board at one of 3 secondary schools in Kampala.

We started out with lunch-

Chicken, brown rice, Irish potatoes, greens, sauerkraut,         cooked banana (matokee) . . . YUM!

After lunch Dr. Bruce, Adam, Amy, Debbie and Jackie shared . . .

* 2 Corinthians 6:18 "I will be a Father to you and you will be my sons and daughters."

*God is listening to you . . . are you listening to God? 

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "I know the plans I have for you . . . "

* Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your way straight."  

* Some of us do not have a father or mother. Our hearts are broken . . . God can heal a broken heart. 

Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Each student received a Memory Book.

Then we broke up into small groups.  

Joan was in my small group. 

Lastly, they were able to pick out some new clothing . . .

Goooo Ducks!!
