School break hits different here. 🌿
When our high school and primary students head home for the holidays, “rest” looks a little different and we love it.
Some are out in the gardens with their parents, hands in the soil. Others are gathering firewood for the evening meals. A few are out in the fields, walking with the animals as they graze. From sunrise to sunset, life is being lived, and lessons are being learned that no classroom can teach.
What makes us proudest isn’t just the work ,it’s the attitude. These young people are showing up for their families with willing hearts, serving their parents, guardians, and grandparents in the small, ordinary ways that hold a home together. And in return, they’re being poured into, receiving wisdom, love, blessings, and the kind of guidance that only comes from those who’ve walked the road before them.
For the students who stay back at school during term time, holidays become a chance to bring something home too, sharing what they’ve learned, leading family devotions, helping younger siblings with their books, and being a light right where they are. This is what we mean when we say we’re raising the whole child, strong in mind, strong in spirit, and not afraid of hard work. 💪🏾
To our partners, and friends around the world this is what your giving builds. Not just classrooms and meals and uniforms, though those matter deeply. You are helping to raise a generation of young Ugandans who are rooted in their families, grounded in their faith, and learning that education and service walk hand in hand. Every child you sponsor, every prayer you send up, every shilling and dollar you give, it travels further than you know. It reaches a girl threshing beans in her grandmother’s yard. It reaches a boy missing his mother’s house. It reaches a home, a village, a future.
From us at Yahweh, THANK YOU! You are family to us, and we carry you in our prayers as faithfully as you carry us in yours. 🙏🏾
