Clinics in Jinja & Moyo
    The work went on well while I was in the States.
    The Ministry of Health came for a tour of Jinja Children’s Ward they were very pleased to see Global Outreach working hand in hand with the government.
     Betty Luzira is doing well. She had the plaster removed in early February. But the Doctor felt it would be best to keep it on for another 6 weeks. There is still a small place where the bone is not connected and strong.
She went in April and had the cast removed. She is walking with the air cast and crutches but the leg is so much stronger.
      Please don’t forget about the clinics in Jinja and Moyo. Staff salaries have to be paid and drugs bought for the children. The work can never stop.

Prayer Points
·       I have had Mono and am down with the fatigue that goes with it. I need strength and endurance to do my work.
·     I have resigned as the Country Coordinator and Chairman of the Board for Global Outreach Uganda. I am also moving to another apartment by May 31 2012. Pray for this transition to be a smooth one.
·      CWWC will be starting a new class in Moyo in September. CWWC will be also going back to Western Uganda for refresher classes for the teachers there. Please continue to give generously
·       Other new ministry opportunities will be coming during the next 6 months. I will keep you informed.

Thanks for your prayers and support!
God bless, Diana

 CWWC Moyo Graduation
         The CWWC team, Elizabeth, Gabriel Luzira and I finished well with the CWWC training. We celebrated the completion of 8 weeks of hard work on March 16, 2012. We graduated 43 women.
    
We had a brass band and the teachers marched trough the town.
Everyone wanted to know who those school girls were!

Gabriel Luzira

The members of parliament and the LC5 gave speeches. Gabriel also wrote an anthem for the Maudi People encouraging unity among all.

         The following Monday Elizabeth, Pastor Tiondi and I went to visit all 43 teachers in their villages all over the district of Moyo. It took us an additional 10 days to do this.
         In the villages the very sad thing is the drunkenness of the men and women. There is little hope in Moyo for employment other than fishing and farming. The people have a poverty mentality. My prayer is that the CWWC teachers will be able to share the Love of Jesus and bring hope to their lives.
         Graduation would not be complete without a feast! We had about 100 pounds of meat, 25 chickens, not sure how many pounds of fish with posho, rice, and salads. No feast would be complete without a Coke!
