Come and see

A captive audience for Paddy in Congo.










Paddy and Mark during Paddy's visit last year. Notice Paddy beating Mark at Scrabble.





I'm surprised about how many people are interested in going to Uganda. Already, six people have expressed interest in making the trip. I think this is a great idea, much for the same reason as Paddy mentions in an e-mail to Jane:

Hello jane

Thanks for the call you sounded good and well. Now about the issue of the school I believe some people can easily understand the picture when they get a chance to come to uganda. Someone said people who are born blind never believe in the light--reason being they have never seen it.

People born in great abundance can not figure out what’s on the ground until they get an opportunity to come and see, then they will change their thinking when they see the need. We are not responding to the call of the government we are responding to the need of humanity....

As we move forward, we need to figure out how to integrate visitors in a way that will benefit the community and volunteers alike. I, myself, am looking forward to going sometime next year and stay at Jane's place!
