Happy birthday to my Mom

Today my mom turns 80 years old. This past month we have had people donate money to the group in Kampala. And Suubi gave away soap in the slums to honor one person or another. I received donations from my daughters Nicole and Sarah. They both dedicated a soap give away to my mom. And Juergen and I did too. This money will enable Suubi Teen MOPS to buy their own gift shop in Kampala. It will be built near the palace of the king of Uganda. They are building a craft market there. And tourists God willing will come by bus and stop there. It is the number one tourist attraction in Kampala. This is a store Suubi will actually own. So, mom, we gave away hundreds of bars of soap in your name to people who could not afford soap. And we are building a gift shop in Kampala largely in your name so our women can sell their handmade goods. I truly love you and wish I could be there to celebrate your big day. But they have been celebrating you in Uganda for the past two months!

We are kind of hoping it is positive.  It will at least explain my symptoms an...

103,375 cases -Czech PSA Makes the Case for Face Masks |

Yesterday I got to go shopping alone. I wore a facemask, glasses, and gloves. I kept far from all the other shoppers. But it was so nice to just walk. The store and the parking lot was actually empty. There is such a strange atmosphere. It is like walking in a disaster film. I went to the big store Globus because we are out of toilet paper, and other stores were out of it. I am watching the news. Lately, it is all about how we could restart the economy. I think it will take real wisdom and maybe a few miracles. I agree with the lockdown. When I look at Italy and New York, I can see how important this lockdown is. But it is really painful for the economy. In Africa where people live from Hand To Mouth, it is more than painful. It is tragic. In East Africa, 50% of the population lives from whatever they make in a day. So this lockdown is going to cause hunger and homelessness. The governments already carry too much debut. They can not afford to borrow more money to ...
