Our chess teams from Kagoma and Busoga simply dominated the Robert Katende Initiative chess tournament. Three of our kids where the best in their category. Of the six trophies awarded, THREE went to Bousuga and TWO went to Kagoma Gate. Many of our team members placed in the top five of their groups. WOW WOW and double WOW. We are all so proud of these little chess masters
Great night tonight (6/13) with the Malta Democrats. We loved having you all there for Thursday night street outreach dinner. Fun times had by all that were there tonight!! The rain even held off. Sloppy Joes and a terrific corn salad were served up. But the carrots were the big hit of the evening

Our founders, Mark and Kelly, returned from Glens Falls, NY yesterday with a treasure trove of donated shoes. That would be fifty ( yes, 50! ) pairs of fabulous new children’s shoes provided by a VERY kind man. With this year’s African trip, there will be some very styling Ugandan kids.
Melissa had to run the show without two of the Outreach Team this week; they had other matters in need of attention. But a little birdie tells us that it was an amazing Thursday night dinner anyway! Our friends at Starpoint Church and Saratoga Abundant Life Church worked together to plan, cook and serve the meal! And, finally, the weather was nice. There even was live entertainment! Thanks to Melissa, Jack, and Jay for holding down the fort.

This was an amazing Thursday night dinner! We had the worst weather and the best crowd we have had this year!! Hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill all the fixings, salads, desserts and yummy King Dairy milk. Big, big, big thanks to Kristina for reaching out and getting the youth group at Bacon Hill Reformed Church involved! We love, LOVE having the kids. And they all did a great job helping to get the meal served. Thanks to their moms and dads for providing the meal and bringing them into town. Thanks to Pastor Janet for allowing this terrific night to happen! Just a great night for all those involved.
A wonderful thank you card from one of the local friends we helped with our spring clean up program. The Giving Circle volunteers and our helpers raked, cleaned and planted the lawns and gardens of seniors in the Saratoga Springs area.
