The beginning of the school year in Uganda means new uniforms for Mustard Seed students. They are luckier than most kids in Lukaya; thanks to you, uniforms, including sweaters and socks, can be ready for all.

Each child has a dress uniform and a sports kit—locally made except for the socks. The quality and price of knee-high socks from Piccolo Hosiery can’t be touched by anything available in Uganda, and they don’t take up too much space in our luggage.

I arrived home less than 24 hours ago—jetlagged but grateful for the privilege of representing you. I wish everyone who supports ‘our’ Ugandan kids could experience the joy, enthusiasm, and welcome that motivates me to make the long trip twice a year.
