Jill, Jo and Hayley visit





We were belessed with the visit of Daniel's Promise Trustee Jill Gradon and two of her friends to the Children's orphanage. Jill, Hayley and Jo arrived in Uganda on Friday 28 April and spent 4 days with the children. It was all fun having them here and sharing their love with the boys.

The climax of the activities was a beach party for the boys which they enjoyed very much. Thank you Jill, Jo and Hayley for the love.
