Dreams Team member Amanda Calhoun arrived in Uganda a few days ahead of rest of the crew. Amanda has been to Uganda numerous times in the past and arrived early to help prepare students and teachers for the arrival of the full Dreams Team next week. Here are her thoughts from her first day on the ground.
"Today was my first full day in country to serve for Fields of Dreams Uganda. I am so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to revisit some of the orphanages I have been to in the past. My main mission today was to spend time with the teachers on campus reviewing the DREAMS plan for the upper primary students. I am so thankful for Fields of Dreams' vision to get to know these students and their backgrounds, help them identify their goals, and then set a plan of steps to create success for the students.
The teachers seemed very excited for the DREAMS plan today. The plan will help enable them to make their students unique and prepare them to reach their long term goals by identifying their talents, interests, and aspirations.The teachers are so grateful that a Dream Team will be joining them this week on campus. Our team will get the chance to meet with these students one-on-one and truly invest in their well being through love and hope. Fields of Dreams has such a unique mission to empower orphans and vulnerable children
through both education and soccer. I cannot wait to see the success for these students and many generations to come!
If you would like to pray for our efforts, I ask that you pray this week for our team as they travel, for safety and health. Pray for the teachers as they learn about the DREAMS program that their understanding and excitement will spread throughout the campus."
Yes! Praying for the team as they travel & for the teachers as they learn about the DREAMS program. Praying for you also! May God be glorified in all you say & do!
