Dear Friends and Partners, 

It is a great delight reaching you with this email at last, being in our prayers continually. We pray for your safety and for your good health. May the Lord continually satisfy your soul and strengthen your bones! This is our belated New Year’s blessing from your Ugandan family and the Dayspring fraternity at large. 

We are keeping well and are thankful to God for His faithful protection and patient shepherding. We look forward to much more of His tender mercies through the months ahead. Great is His faithfulness.

On a sad note, we lost George’s younger sister – a very close and instrumental member to the family. We are still just trying to get over the grief and the stark reality that she is not here anymore. She passed on during the third week of January after a relatively short illness. May she rest in peace eternally.

FAMILY: George and Stella continue with their normal supervisory routines; school, church, and the construction of the clinic as well. Philip and Sarah are expecting their first child April/May. Fiona has a handful with the twins now. Jennifer is believing God for a second. We thank God for the growing family.

As for the  graduated youths, life seems to be at a stall momentarily. Jobs are scarce and there are numerous graduates floating around. Carol graduated over two years ago with a Bachelor’s in Information technology. While Rachel has done Mass Communication. They figure further studies would present broader chances, which is actually the case. The international training would be an additional advantage in the competitive work place. We are absorbing  all this by faith in prayer.  Our plea would be that if there be any window of opportunity you might know of at a reputable college over there, (grants, sponsorships, etc.)  please let us know how to go about it. 

SCHOOL: The first term commenced on 3rd February and we are now through into the forth week. Not all report on the opening date for various reasons. We have registered some more new entrants, and still pray for the old ones to report back.  

CLINIC: The construction work has been moving on steadily. The shutters have all been put in place and the painting is also done for the portion we preferred to start with. The leveling of the ground  and designing of the compound is taking place at the moment.  Since the land had never been built on before, the exercise is proving to be more taxing than we imagined! But it is exciting to see the changes on the ground. The need for a wall around the premise is evident now also. We have decided to build at least the front wall for now so that the facility is secured with a gate and a small house for the security guard as we continue to believe God.

The encouraging news is that there’s a lot of excitement among the locals about this project because a health facility is being made accessible in terms of distance as well as standardized service. An entreaty being vocalized is that this should not be an out patients service only and that it should be 24 hour service centre, with a maternity wing etc. 

We were able to interview a couple of applicants (medical personnel). One of the applicants that showed up for the nursing post was a former student at Dayspring School some years back! This put a smile on our faces!! We are looking at starting the operations in March, meanwhile looking around for suitable rental housing for the staff.

Thank you for all the prayers and support. This would not have happened without your well meaning partnership! May the Lord clothe you with resounding health and bless the work of your hands. 

Your fellow labourers,

George & Stella Muzaale
