Today we broke ground for a new home for a widow Dorothy NALWANGA. She told me as we showed up this morning, that several other projects that were supposed to help her village came and went with empty promises. Every single one ended with dashed hopes. I am proud of GFR, going where no one else goes and keeping their promises.

Dorothy's story is amazing. She is a widow caring for 17 orphans. She had NO HOME. Her neighbors were letting her use a spare broken down home. She had some land, but no home. Today we had the privilage, thanks to the Bodi's love initiative, to make her dream come true. The whole day she just kept saying "I can't believe that you showed up!" "Is this really happening to me?"

This particular house was purchased in a very unique way. If you think you can not afford to assist your family with a new home purchase, look what Dawn and Frank Bodi did! Last week they had a Garage sale. The first two days they raised enough money to build a new home for their dearest Dorothy. A new home for your family is only $2800.00!!

I am so proud of you Bodi Family! Thank You! What a joy it was to work with the community on this home. Today was a National holiday in Uganda, and people young and old still showed up to work beside us. We had our lead team with us today, and tomorrow Team 1 shows up. We will get much done with so many people! Follow below with these joyful photos.
