The following pictures are from our short visit to Takajjunge Primary School. Last year we visited there and I was struck on how many students didn't have shoes on their feet. During our question and answer time, one student asked us if all the kids in the U.S. have shoes. We get lots of funny questions, Scripture questions, really insightful questions, but this one really has stayed with me. I was looking forward to going back to this school. Rev. Stephen told us last year that this particular area has been hit hard with AIDS and there are many orphans, which also means many very poor people. There have been many people here (in the US) who have said we should do some kind if shoe drive for this school. It sounds so much easier than it is. It will be very easy to gather the shoes. The problem lies in getting them all there. Montana (a girl from our church) has given this much thought and prayer. She's working on getting something together for in the near future. When it all works out, we'll let you hear about it!
