Did I mention that this is a mission trip? We are using our vacation time to serve the children in the small village of Zziba in Uganda where we support an orphanage and church. About 20 orphans live at the orphanage as well as many children in the community that the church supports. In 2008, Stan went to Zziba and was able to install electricity in the compound. Until then their only source of light was from Kerosene lamps. Pastor Gary has been back to Zziba approximately 3-4 time every year since then. On each visit he monitors the children’s progress in school and their health and well being. OBM’s goal is to help provide resources like education, skill training, agriculture, small business and industry development, the result being to give these individuals the tools they need to become self-sustaining and radically increase their options for the future. Here is their website, http://www.olivebranchministries.net/.
