An Introduction of Sorts...

Nine years ago, Kevin and I moved from Durham, NC to establish a Christian secondary school in a remote corner of Western Uganda. What a journey it has been! By the Grace of God, 4 kids and 400 students later we are still here.

We were intrigued by the concept of this blog as a way to keep up with many of you who have made this school and this ministry possible. We hope the pictures and stories you find here will encourage and challenge you. Bundibugyo is a beautiful place. True, it is full of heartache and brokenness, yet it glimmers with potential in the hands of a future generation. It is towards this hope that we press.

As we chose a name (which is always fun) we wanted a word that would be something of ourselves and something of this place. In the local language of the people here the concept of teaching is translated as kwegesiya. So there you have it...

Hey Kevin and JD!
Anna here...I am so glad that John and I found your blog. I am fairly new at blogging. We love that we can catch up on how you all are doing and what is going on there at the school. We hope that your Christmas is filled with sweet family time. Take care and God Bless.
