2 days until we go!

Regenerate (high school ministry of Neighborhood Church) is partnering with the Uganda Orphans Fund (UOF) to love on orphaned children. Presently, there are nearly two million HIV/Aids orphans in Uganda. It is estimated there will be 8 to 10 million orphans in ten years, the result of currently infected parents succumbing to the disease. The UOF has built over 25 individual homes.

The objective of this trip is to visit the existing homes and bring supplies (books, clothes, sports) and love. Our team will be spending the majority of the trip visiting three specific homes and the village that has recently been built by the UOF that includes two homes, a school and a medical clinic. For more information on the Uganda Orphans Fund go to www.ugandaorphans.com.

Join with us on our adventure and check out our blog daily for updates, prayer request and pictures from different members of our team. You can leave comments and be with us in spirit as God does some awesome things. Stay tuned for more...!
