So, it's almost 3 am and I am ready to go to sleep. The snow outside has made my home undeniably frigid ie. freezing. I finally turned on the heat, even though we usually don't do that at night. I can't help but think about children in Uganda and many other countries living out on the streets with no parents to give them a warm house, food etc, and I finally recognize I can handle one night of cold (but man, my body's not used to this coldness).
On Saturday December 2nd we are having a Fun Fair fundraiser to raise money for orphans in Northern Uganda (the area where the Lord's Resistance Army has been recruiting child soldiers). These children are being given a home and refuge at the Uganda Jesus Village. The people in charge of the Village are also seeking to put these children into already up and running villages and families, which I think is important in order to readjust the children back into their own society rather than trying to adjust them to our "white," "Caucasian" orphanages and society.
At the Fun Fair there will be a silent auction, open mike (yipee-I'm hoping to play a few tunes), cake walk (win a free cake-delicious), and games for kids. C'mon out and check it out at 1pm. It's gonna be held at Global Harvest in Abbotsford BC.
