Love Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

I am very happy to inform you that Richard Ogola has recently completed a successful surgery for the chronic infection in his leg and is recuperating at home. Based on a check-up he had yesterday, the doctor says Richard is healing well and should make a full recovery. Because of your kindness he has been receiving treatment at the best hospital in Uganda.

Without your continued assistance, kindness and support this surgery would not have occurred and Richard's life would not be so drastically improved. The children and Ester are well aware that I am not the only one helping them and are constantly telling me to thank all of you. In addition, I would like to extend my personal thanks for your patience. Coordinating this procedure took much longer than expected, and I am sure all of you are as relieved as I am that Richard has finally received the treatment that he so desperately needed.

Also, your continued compassion and involvement have meant that the children are now attending a boarding school. This is significant as boarding schools are the preferred form of education in Uganda due to their more rigorous curriculum. The children are very excited about their new school and know they are being better prepared to realize their dreams of becoming nurses and teachers.

Again, I cannot begin to express how grateful the children, Ester and I are for your support and how much it is profoundly improving their lives.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Natalie
