Note From Pastor George

Bukasa Supporters-
Below is the latest note from Pastor George.  They are near the end of the current semester and the deadline from the city regarding improvements completed/the school closing is fast approaching.  We don't know if they will give grace beyond the extension they have already issued.
The kitchen property has been purchased, but construction is yet to begin for lack of funds.  This is the only remaining renovation the city is requesting to be competed for the school to remain open.  The next school term begins June 3.  After reading Pastor George's words would you prayerfully consider being a contributing partner to help complete the kitchen project?  It would be greatly appreciated. You can mail your tax-deductible contribution to:

Project Love International,
5855 Topanga Canyon
Suite 400
Woodland Hills

please write "Bukasa" on the memo line

Thanks in advance for considering this opportunity,
Bob

P.S. the loan Pastor refers to in his note is in response to info I sent him regarding a foundation near Kampala offering "micro-loans" to help locals launch small businesses.  Once the $200 micro loan is repaid, the entrepreneur is independent of any outside financial assistance and can continue to provide needed funds for their families.  Business owners are trained by a local volunteer in business practices, banking proceedures, purchasing, accounting, etc.  Apparently he misunderstood and thought the loan might be for school improvements.  So goes the slow progress of communication between USA and Uganda.  I shall try again to clarify but his comment points to his concern about the state of the school and the responsibility he feels for making sure it succeeds.

Pastor's note:


dear Jaja Bobby greatings to you your family plus all our friends and supporters in Jesus name.
I thank you for all that you do to help us mat the lord Jesus Christ bless all of you.
This  week we will sending children home for their holiday ,we thank you so much for your prayers and support.
We have used the money you sent us to pay the teachers salary,and other emidiet needs we had in the school, as we were closing our first term in the school.
kids are coming back to school on 3/6/2013, so that is when the city wants us to be through with the kitchen , so we are praying for Gods provision because we dont want the school to be closed.
So i dont know if you can get same one to give us a loarn as the school this can help, in Uganda it not easy you need to give in the property you have in order to get a loarn like the one you have tolked about finka Uganda has taken meny peoples property.
So dont know hoe we can go through this it is only God who knows.
send my greetings to all.
serving jesus together,
Pastor Kisolo George.

Below is the latest note from Pastor George.  I think you will find it interesting and informative.  He and his board are weighing the options of using current funds to purchase less expensive land outside the community on which to build a new school, or to continue improvements to the existing school.  Either decision has its pros and cons.  Please pray for them as they determine what is best short term/long term. Thanks.

Dear Jaja Boggy,
greetings to to you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ , how are you and how is your ministry & family doing plus all our friends and supporters hope you all do well in Jesus name.
I wanted to let you know that i received the money you sent me, and you told me to work on the improvement on the school but i was suggesting that if we can keep this money until we get the money to buy that behind house were we can build the other two classes and the kitchen. this house is the one behind our church near our current kitchen it can accommodate two big classrooms and the kitchen.
the owner of the house needs to sell it to us and this will be very good to us to build and expand as the city have commanded us, because they told us that comes next term if we don't have the kitchen we will not open the school.
This first term has to end on 3rd May 2013 and the next term has to begin on 3rd Jun 2013. So the city has given us that period to finish up  the kitchen, if were to open up in next term, so we need your prayers we need Gods provision on this issue.
This house is costing $8000, now here is where i need your advise should i keep the $1000 you sent me what can i do?.

NB: There is also a land  which is good, for the school and the hospital play ground  plus every thing we want to do, because it is 5 Acres and it is outside of the Kampala city  it like 35-40 km from Kampala.
you remember when you were here, Big Ron brought an idea that we get land out of the city ,in which we can have enough space for the school, so the land is there and it is cheap
because they want to pay $15000 in all these five Acres, which is as they sell lands these days: this land is cheap, so think about it and let us pray about it we need Gods provision.

I have also attached Joshua photo which you told me about.
Jaja Bobby I want to thank you & all our friends and supporter  from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all that you do to us, you have done a lot for our community,  and may the lord who sees reword you for that amen.
your brother in the lord Jesus Christ Pastor Kisolo George
