Day 28 is your one big thing day. We are to choose one thing we have
always wanted to do and do it.
I already said my one big thing would be to send the money for 3 teen Moms
in Kampala to go to tailoring school. I managed to raise the money to do
this. But I received the bad news. The women would be required to take
written tests at the school. None of these women have ever gone to
school. Most cannot even write their own names. So the traditional
school was closed to them. But our MOPS leadership team in Kampala found
a private person willing to teach the women how to tailor cloths. And the
good news is it is less expensive. So we are now sending 5 women to
school. They begin next week. I sent the money. The school
will be paid today. And God willing these 5 women will learn a marketable
skill. A skill that will give them the money they need to support their
own kids through school. It is a step out of poverty. They are
responsible for where they go, and how they take advantage of this opportunity.
But it is one big thing...it is incomprehensibly big. I cry with
gratitude. In the teen MOPS group in Kampala there are 15 more women
who also wait for some way out of poverty. This maybe the end of the 28 day
challenge, but I will not stop working towards this goal. And I welcome
any donation you may want to add. We accept pay pal, cash, or money on gofund me. Thank you for following me this month. It has been fun! I’m glad I took the trip.
