We have been writing to you about two of our boys, Geofrey and Moses, and our endeavors to bring them to the US for college. We have received official correspondence that they have been accepted to a Community College in Minnesota! This is so exciting! Our first college students!!!
We have a few more things to get ready, a little more funds to raise...about $1,500 remaining for airfare and about $8,000 for school, and they are ready to travel. We will go for visas soon so be praying for favor. That's the most difficult part.
We are so excited about this opportunity for our boys. They are remarkable students, workers, and young men! We are proud of them and so privileged to give this opportunity! Thanks to all who sowed into their lives and continue to sow. You will meet them very soon!

Prince Fred's Zambia Trip
As some of you know, one of our education projects this summer is to send Prince Fred (yes, he's a real prince), one of our high school graduates to Zambia to work as a volunteer in the medical and outreach field.
Prince Fred is interested in pursuing a medical career and in helping orphans. An opportunity to go to Zambia and work with Dr Tim Meade, medical director of Corpmed Medical Centre, has opened for him and we are working to send him there by the end of June.
Thought you might like to see where he is going and what he will be doing.
Click on the title above to see Tiny Tim and Friends website (this is who Prince Fred is working with) and you can also check out www.corpmedzambia.com as well. Be blessed and if you want to contribute toward Prince Fred's trip, we welcome your participation - click on the Secure Online Giving button or go to the contact us page for our address.
This is a great way to help another organization doing incredible charitable and life saving work and to give a young man an opportunity to learn how to do such work.
Thanks and God bless!

Ibra's American Eye
Just in case you don't know who Ibra is, let me tell you very briefly.
Ibra is one of our boys from Uganda. His mother abused him severely as a child causing him to lose his right eye. He excaped her by running to the streets and then came to live with us. For year, he never smiled or even looked up at us and he wore baseball caps to shade his face.
But today, Ibra goes to school and is living a life he never imagined he could have in safety, provision and love. He loves the Lord and is honored to have had the experience of traveling to the United States to receive a prosthetic eye.
Originally he was going to receive a more permenant prosthesis. However, his eye socket is too small. So, thanks to the amazing skills of some creative people (like Gillian Duncan) and technology today...Ibra is receiving an eye through anaplastology. It requires no surgery. Just time. All professionals involved have volunteered their time and services.
Special thanks to all the doctors and specialists involved in Ibra's care while here in Minnesota. This has been an amazing experience! Also, special thanks to those who have shown Ibra such love, friendship, and care while he's here in the US!
