We recognise and appreciate our amazing team at Barnabas Legacy Children’s Dream Foundation.
Each member of our team brings unique skills, creativity, and passion to everything we do. It’s your hard work and dedication that helps us make dreams come true.
The month of May was full of wonders and surprises. We had representatives from our New Zealand community, led by Papa Mike and Mama Sue, visit Uganda on a mission trip to see the work of Barnabas Legacy Children’s Dream Foundation and its established school – Agape Star Christian School.
The children had great fun and learnt many lessons about New Zealand. Mama Sue taught them two beautiful New Zealand-based songs and told them about her family and the work her parents did in Uganda about 30 years ago. The children enjoyed wonderful moments of football, netball, and rugby led by Papa Mike.
Our Arise Women in Business section showcased baking, sewing, and knitting activities. About 324 cakes were baked and distributed to our school children. We toured the school land and its premises, including the school farm and ongoing developments.
We dined together and cut a ribbon to officially open the BEADLE block that was constructed in late 2022 from the generous donation contribution from Mama Sue in memory of their beloved parents (BRIAN & JILL MELLAR) from New Zealand, who pioneered work with children in Arua, Uganda in the 1990s.
We are grateful for the fundraisers and happy to see our phase one dormitories almost completed. Because we are a team, another group of representatives led by our Australian-based co-founders Maree and Tevita Naroba, along with Australian board member Nic Jones, will be visiting in August this year.
To you all in Australia, New Zealand, Uganda, and different parts of the world: thank you for being the heart and soul of our mission. We are so grateful to have each and every one of you on this journey!
Let’s continue to dream big and achieve even more together.
For His Love Compels Us
Thank you!
