Although I'm back to my normal schedule, I still have the excitement from our Africa Mission Trip. There was an open house for the Study Abroad Programs at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa today. I was looking for the table that says, "Uganda, Africa" or even "Africa" and there was none! I saw China, Switzerland, France, Italy, London, Bulgaria, Norway and other European countries and there was no table for Africa! The Study Abroad Program Coordinator encouraged me to take up the offer for the Fulbright Scholarship. She said that the Uganda Christian University can offer that to me if they really want to. The question is how I will bring my family there. The other option is to create a curriculum to take nursing students to Kampala for clinical rotations. Fervent prayers is what I need right now! All I can think and hear right now is one of the songs from Babylon VBS, "God is watching, watching over you, 24/7 He's watching over you. Your life is in His Hands, He's got great big plans and He's watching over you!"
Another exciting day for me that I finally visited Madam Nancy Walch and Sir Gerhart Walch at their Bishop Street office in downtown Honolulu. The fabulous couple prepared a filipino lunch (kare-kare with sautéed alamang, fried fish with sawsawan garlic and vinegar, chicken papaya, and banana lumpia). I had a grand time with them overlooking the fantastic breathtaking view of downtown Honolulu. We went to visit Madam Elsa downstairs but she was busy meeting with her clients.

By the way, Madame Nancy is co-sponsoring Jerusha from SIITA NEST with my daughter Joy. She just love the picture of Jerusha and me and ask for her own copy as you see on this post with the African Elephant bowl.
