Susan Gordon is in Uganda

Just got this email from Susan....

I am just getting to computer time. slept in after an amazing day yesterday with Milton and the kids. i feel so inspired and have many ideas about what I want to do here in Uganda now and in the future. it was wonderful to reconnect with all of the kids - not only the ones that came to the USA but the kids who did not and who I knew when I lived and worked here four years ago.


I spent many hours with Milton - we had lunch at the University together away from the compound and his busy life. today he is being appointed as the Minister of Education in his kingdom of Uganda and tomorrow he goes to his kingodm for the official ceremony! this is great appointment for him - not bad for an orphan kid who eventually got a college education and has created an incredible social program here in Uganda for former street kids - and the kids stay in his program and now several are going to university - working at jobs to do it! no loans and no families. we could all learn so much from these people!


Tonight the troupe is performing at the national soccer stadium for the opening ceremonies for all African soccer games (big/huge tournaments) - the President of Uganda will be there and so will Diane and me. Milton put us on his crew list to take pictures! I am very excited!!!


An example of the kind and honest people the Ugandans are. This morning the front desk person at Mamba came to me with a pair of glasses and a note. Diane had left her glasses in the taxi we took from the airport - the driver found the glasses this morning and returned them to us with a note. That is Uganda.
