It's Official.

Well It's official! In my long stint away, the hubby and I were asked to head up the Canadian Ambassador Program for Eagles Wings Children's Village. I'm sure many of you remember "Living Life on Purpose 2015" when the hubby and I packed and went to Uganda for 5 weeks to work in an orphanage and a children's village- we had no idea what we were getting into, where exactly we were going, and just exactly what we'd be doing, but we went with open hands willing to serve in whatever capacity we could, doing whatever needed to be done. And all I can say, is WOW what an experience! 

I had the pleasure of heading back in February of 2020 with my mom, and seeing just what is happening on the property (PS. WE HAVE ELECTRICITY!) was inspiring! We are in the throws of building a medical clinic, where we will not only be able to see patients, but will also be able to have lab services and eventually full hospital accommodations.  My favourite part of being in Uganda was the days I spend in the health clinic with Dr. Macris. The clinic was about 12 x12 feet, with a small bathroom, other than that it was just a one room clinic where patients would come in with everything from fevers, to mastitis, sick babies and children. This clinic was on the school property, but was made accessible to anyone in the village who needed help. I loved serving there. 

I have so much more to share, and I will, it'll all drip out as we go- I often have a hard time putting big events into words, they live vividly in my head, but sharing it with others is proves to be difficult for me. It's as though I can't quite get the right words to share the experience in a way I feel honours it. So I shy away from details, and say things like "it was amazing, oh so life changing", "you have to see it to believe it", "It's more than I ever imagined" -  as many words as I go through in a day- I find it hard to put major experiences that have shaped me, and my heart, into words I deem worthy enough of the impact they've made. I guess I'll just have to learn, and try harder ;)
