Peter pumping water Here you see one of our Ugandan pen pals named Peter, pumping water. In the background are bricks to use for the new school's construction. Four acres have already been purchased and the people have made 10,000 bricks from mud and straw baked in the sun. As our 2006 Mission Project, the students of Oskaloosa Christian School will provide financial assistance to actually construct the building. Their new center will be called "Children of Hope Vocational Centre." It will provide training for children to learn how to farm, carpenter, tailor, make bricks, and weave. |

We will look forward to receiving letters back from our pen pals sometime in January or February! Our students have also received pictures of their own Ugandan pen pals.
