Today, a small team of staff and students are packaging the ingredients of the Christmas gift bags. Above, you can see loaves of bread, boxes of soap, and big bags of rice being repackaged in smaller bags for each family. It's an enormous job to prepare 700 gifts, but this year, there's a new challenge.
The Anthrax outbreak in Uganda has made it risky to handle beef and illegal to sell it. A change of plans was needed and needed fast.
Mustard Seed chickens were about to go to market, but...
Because of your generosity and Ugandan flexibility, Mustard Seed families will be cooking CHICKEN for their Christmas dinners.
Live chickens will eliminate the need for the butchers and packaging. Oh, how I wish I could be there to see it! More next week.
