As we wait for the election results, we are wrapping up our consulting work and are planning to leave Congo tomorrow for Uganda. We will catch a red eye flight to Amsterdam on Saturday night.

This was a productive day of interviewing people and starting the written draft of our report. Our work has come together well.

Here is an excerpt from a wonderful e-mail received today from an Anglican minister and husband to Mama Dorcas from the Butembo orphanage.
———————–
We were so delighted at your visit in Butembo most especially at the orphanage. I think you have experienced the life that orphans are living. But we thank God so much for having given us the spirit of compassion which has enable us to look after these victims regardless of the difficult issues we face over taking care for them.

Thank you very much for the prayers you prayed for me while I was hospitalised. God answered your prayers and now I feel well at home with my orphans. What a wonderful miracle that God has done through you.

Also we thank you very much for the assistance you gave to teachers and most especially food, soap, pots, sugar, cups, oil, parrafin, mattresses, torches and many things you offered to orphans. Now orphans are eating, sleeping, dancing, enjoying things you gave them. Thank you very very very much and God bless you and your children and all activities you are doing for people of God.

May God Bless your city, your country CANADA and everything you have.

We wish you a blessing trip wherever you will pass up to your home and greet all friends there on our behalf.

Revd Kasereka Kiharami Emmanuel and His wife Dorcas
