Hello to All!

It has been a while since we have updated the blog and a lot has gone on in the interim. First of all, please revisit the St. Monica's site http://www.stmonicagulugirlsrelief.org/. as it has recently been completely updated.

To all of you who purchased the beautiful beads made by these young women, THANK YOU! We recently sent a donation to St Monica's in the amount of $3500 from the proceeds of the beads. There is ongoing support and we are so appreciative.

Fr. Dunson recently published his new book "Child, Victim, Soldier: Lost innocence in Northern Uganda" depicting the lives of these young people. What an amazing look into the lives of these traumatized people. It is available on Borders.com or from us.

We have been working in other ways to continue to help the people of Northern Uganda. We are in the process of trying to furnish their new clinic. If anyone has advice regarding shipping of supplies it would be greatly appreciated. We have many medical supplies that we would like to send.

Sr. Rosemary was recently with us and would like to personally thank all of you for your prayers and contributions. She is currently working on opening a centre in Atiak, about 2 hours north of St. Monica's.

We have been doing talks in the community about our experience in Northern Uganda. We are eager to spread the word. Please let us know if you would like to hear from us. Our e-mail is will.richardson@oh.rr.com

Thank you and God bless you all!
