Day 5

Day 5 was another fun day of Vacation Bible School with the kids living at Calo Me Lare. The team had so much fun singing songs, making crafts, and playing games...

VBS was a great opportunity to get to know the kids at Calo Me Lare and they had so much fun learning about Jesus!

Day 4

The next day, the team went to Calo Me Lare to get a tour of the orphanage and do Vacation Bible School with the children there. To their amazement, they were greeted at the gate by the Calo Me Lare family with song. Such sweet voices...

It's amazing to see the progress that has been made since the orphanage's opening in February 2011!

After the gracious welcome, the team read Bible stories, sang songs, did crafts, and had a blast playing games with the kids...

Days 1-3

The team left Tulsa on Sunday, July 3rd and flew to Washington D.C. where they stayed the night. They had time to spare, so they went sight-seeing and saw some amazing well-known sites around the area including the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the White House, the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the Korean War Veteran's Memorial.

The next day, they boarded a plane that headed for Ethiopia, then on to Uganda. After they landed in Entebbe, they drove northeast to Lira, Uganda where they stayed the rest of the two weeks they were there. It was quite an adventure getting there, and after seeing the way people drive in Uganda, they will never complain about driving in America again! ;-)

These are pics of Margarita Hotel where they stayed...
