We’re Back!!

After almost two and a half years, a small team was finally able to return to Uganda to spend time with our staff and students. It filled our hearts and souls to be together again. We were able to witness first-hand that HEED did more than survive the pandemic-our team thrived! During the lockdown, they stayed in touch with our students, opened a community clinic, and launched a vocational school. It was pure joy to see these initiatives in person, but the best part was fellowshipping, praying, planning, and just being together. We found programs running effectively, the campuses neat, and buildings well-maintained. At the end of the trip, we took the entire leadership team on a well-deserved retreat at a nice resort on the Nile River to thank them for their commitment and hard work during our long absence.
