From Nick & Julie: Malindi, Kenya

Julie and I have just returned from our wonderful Easter vacation in Kenya. We stayed with a few friends in a beautiful house right on the Kenyan coast in a little town called Malindi. We ate tons of seafood, hung out by the pool, and had a great time with friends. Being in Uganda has been the first time either of us have lived far from the coast, so visiting the beach is always a huge treat for us.

Lending a Hand…

Last month Hellen broke her hand and was in a cast. Since her recovery, she has had a hard time with some of the steps in making the beads. Ajok Pamela is always eager to lend her a helping hand. It is always great to see the ladies serving one another.

Jennifer is the newest addition to our team in Uganda. She is currently working on revamping the curriculum for our business class and teaching our ladies the skills they will need to start their own small businesses in the community. She also has a lot of experience monitoring and evaluating programs of local NGO’s, so she will help Gladies in the task of evaluating our programs here in Uganda.
We are so stoked to have her on the team, and we are excited to see the impact that she will have on the ladies!
