Latest Sponsorship Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

What a joy and pleasure it has been to work with the wonderful children of the 31st African Children's Choir. Fortunately, these children have finished their touring and are currently preparing to return home to Uganda. I cannot begin to explain or tell you how much joy I have received from working with these children, and my only wish is that they do not forget me. Oh, and that sometime in my life I will be able to visit them in their home surroundings. I will never forget the jokes that we shared or the lessons I have learned, these three months have truly been a blessing.

Here are some final experiences with the wonderful children on Choir 31. The other day I was able to take some children fishing who had never been before. Amazingly Diana caught her first fish and we took a picture. After that, every time there was a movement on the line, she would scream and scare the fish away. One time, I was holding the pole for her and she saw movement on the line, and what did she do, but grab the pole from my hands, fling the line way over our heads and scream. At this point, I dropped the pole, thinking she had it, and it fell into the water. We had to fish it out with another pole while 10 other people were watching the whole charade. So much fun!!!! Another fun adventure with a host family was playing dress-up. That seems like such a simple playtime for American children, but Ugandans don't have that opportunity very often. We had so much fun putting on bright pink wigs and dancing with Easter egg hats. The girls played for hours and didn't want to leave. I can't begin to explain how much laughter was in that room.

Even though these children will be heading home soon, that does not mean my ministry is over. I have just joined the Choir 34 tour, which will be touring throughout the US and Canada as well as performing our Journey of Hope show in these next 12 months. I am so excited to teach these small children about the joys found in America, and open their eyes to the giving hearts that are found on tour. Even though, they come from horrible situations in Uganda and Kenya, God's love and kindness can be found in America. This new tour does mean I will be starting with a different set of chaperons, but I pray that the transition will be smooth and work well.
Finally, I am proud to say that the chaperon who was recovering from a concussion last month, is doing great and had no side effects. Another prayer was answered, thanks to you, both choir 34 and 35 have their visa's and are booked to tour in September. Also, don't forget that even though God has provided for me financially this month, I still need your help to be stable this upcoming month and throughout my next tour. Please remember that for me to continue in this ministry, I must raise $600 each month to provide for the basic necessities of life on the road. Thanks for all your prayers, love and support.

May God bless you and keep you safe,
Auntie Jamie
