Beauty and poverty, opportunities and challenges, dreams and needs…Uganda. It is for her children that we work to build a school…and thus to Build Hope in Kids.

On the greens and fairways of a golf course in September!!

They're yours to enjoy at Quail Meadows Golf Course in East Peoria on Sunday, Sept. 24th. That's the date for our 6th annual Golf Outing to Benefit BHIK-U. Gather a few friends and get ready to have a load of fun, beginning at 1 pm. The dinner afterwards is at the golf course but catered by Barrack's -- and their food is scrumptious!

Be sure to get your registration in by Sept. 17.

It's just one of MANY collector's cars at the BHIK-U Garage Sale this month! A "serious collector" built quite a collection of die cast 1/24 scale vintage vehicles over the years. His estate has donated them to BHIK-U for our annual Garage Sale. It's your opportunity to get a unique gift or conversation piece! (Father's Day is coming up quickly...)

Of course, there are plenty of other items - - from antiques to furniture, jewelry to tools, and almost everything in between! (except clothes)

Sale info: located at 107 N. Elm Street in Washington, Illinois.

All proceeds go to BHIK-U for St. Patrick Boarding School in Uganda.

What's red and white and a mystery to this writer?

Warm, sunny days... spending outdoors time with friends... sports... For BHIK-U, it's also the "high season" for fundraisers. We have three events just "around the corner" - - an evening Peoria Chiefs baseball game on May 28th , our annual Benefit/Garage Sale June 8-10 in Washington, IL, and a bus trip to an evening Cubs vs Cardinals game in St. Louis on July 27th.

We like to think of them as FUNdraisers. How can you be glum while enjoying Dippin' Dots or hot dogs at a ballgame, or chillin' with Uncle Bob's homemade ice cream while discovering just the right "find" under the canopies at a garage sale?

The Uganda school is filled to capacity with enthusiastic student and teachers, the campus is almost fully built, and God's hand is seen in all of it!

Have a blessed Easter season, and mark your calendars for some summer fun!
