The sponsored students all wrote letters to their sponsors in June. Fr. Julius would have brought the letters with him on his trip to the U.S. in August and September, but Ebola put that plan on hold. So the Uganda school staff scanned every one of the 274 letters and emailed them, along with the students’ photos, to our Board president. Thanks to the combined efforts of a few folks, all the photos were labeled, letters printed, and cover letters sent to each sponsor.

All sponsors have been asked to write a letter to their sponsored student (PRINT, actually - - the students aren’t taught cursive writing) and get it in the mail to BHIK-U before October 1st. They’ll be sent to the kids soon thereafter. The kids will be thrilled to receive them. After all, who doesn’t enjoy getting a letter from someone special?!
