New Hope, Uganda

We are learning that in Uganda, a one-and-a-half hour drive can equal three hours when one is headed to a rural area. We traveled north from the capital city of Kampala to visit an organization that was founded in the late 1980's called, "New Hope." En route, we traveled along deeply rutted dirt roads to reach our destination. New Hope encompasses an orphanage, a school, a medical clinic and an enterprise farm. We were hosted by "Aunt Constance," who shared her extra bedrooms with us. A highlight was having dinner with Jonas, one of the organization's founders and visionaries. He told us about his dream for a teacher training school, among other ideas.
