Awesome pictures!

(Except for those last few with the marabou storks... Those things freak me the frick out, all creepy and they'll eat whatever they can, live or dead, including people... barf)

A few more.



Let me adjust my gear for the photo.


That's better.


I got room for more

No more mattres on the floor. We purchased triple bunks for the kids.

Amazing photos.

OK, now they freak me out.

Thanks for the pics mark.

I raise my glass to you Sir, good work Mark.

And thanks for sharing the experience with us.

Where did you sleep? Tents?

Mark, Great shots. They rival Troop's pic's! Great of you to have participated in such a great cause. Hat's off!

So how many of those children did you want to take home with you?

We slept in a hotel. Last year some of us slept in a mud hut.



My wife and I wish we could have brought back a few. That is one reason I am going back this November for 5 days, to check on our orphan and other projects we started.

I wanted to share with you all one particular day on my trip.
We went to a site called Smile Africa Ministries that help the poorest of the poor in Uganda. The children come form all around and are despised by everyone else. Some are naked and most wear rags. A lot are orphans, but they are all street kids. Smile Africa feed over 400 kids everyday and on this particular day we helped serve the food.

One thing all the kids want is to go to school and be educated.




Feeding them Poorsha (kasava root) beans and gravy


If any of you would like to sponsor a child for $26 per month and where 100% of the money goes to the orphan program and not one penny is taken out for "administration costs", drop me a note and I will send you the link.

You can also give us your paypal account address so we can make a donation?

Mark, your photo's are Trooptastic!

Mark,

You and your family are truly an inspiration to the rest of us. With all the genocide and tribal conflict it would be easy to walk away and say "Not my problem". Perhaps one of those you have helped becomes the great leader and statesman that that part of the world desperately needs.

+1 Mark. You and your family are to be applauded for your work. Outstanding example.

Great stuff Mark. I admire you and your family.
