Scholarship program and mother’s milk (7/22/19)

2 for 1 on the blog posts today! We started the morning with mass at 7:30am. After mass, we attended the scholarship program. The mission started this program in September/October of 2018 to help students attend school that are in need of assistance. The teachers look for the students that have potential and are in need the most. We got to meet with the recipients of the scholarships, as well as inform them of how we raise the funds for the program and encourage them that education is the key to success! The program is already helping 17 students in secondary school. We can’t wait to see how the students of this program succeed in life! After lunch, we traveled to Simakumba, an out station of Lukulu. This is where the other mother’s milk post is located. We got to meet at the mothers and babies/children that receive milk and HEPS. Mother’s milk is one of the main programs that our donors help us sponsor. Although our bags are still missing and we had no gifts for them, they were still so welcoming and showered us with gratitude. We are so excited to continue making lifelong friendships with the people of Lukulu. It’s hard to put into words how we are feeling, but we are so blessed to be able to do God’s work!
