Good Times with our friends from Uganda

This past weekend, we were blessed with the opportunity to spend a little more time with our friends from Uganda before they left the USA for home. As always, it warmed our hearts to be with them. And, as always, we were amazed at their boundless talents and love of life.

In addition to the Spirit of Uganda, we were also blessed with the presence of Maria Naita, renown Ugandan artist. Maria has welcomed our students to her art studio Uganda so we were thrilled to welcome her to UA as our visiting artist. It's another one of those awesome relationships that we have seen come full circle from Africa to Dallas and back - just like our relationship with Agnes Kasule, our alum who is originally from Uganda and an orphan herself - now we at Ursuline are working with Agnes in her work as Director of Empower African Children in Uganda.  And what joy it has brought to our community!

A few examples of those joyful moments from this past week are below:
