Waffle Wednesday BBQ To Support Buyamba

7/13/2017

For those of you in Conejo Valley and Ventura County in California, please join us at Waffle Wednesday next week for free food, games and entertainment on behalf of The Ross Group Mortgage company to support Buyamba Uganda! Sponsors and donors, this is a fun time to get together for fellowship and all will have a chance to look at the new “Shoes that Grow” and buy a pair of shoes for your sponsored kid ($15) and attach a personal letter inside to bless them. This is also a time to bring a friend to hear how sponsoring a child can make an impact on a life forever!

Hope to see you there! In case you live outside the area, or you're not able to make it, Waffle Wednesday will be streaming the event live on Facebook. Follow Waffle Wednesday on Facebook to be a part of the fun. Also, if you would like to find out more information on the "The Shoe That Grows" you can find it on our website, HERE.

We were so blessed to be featured at Waffle Wednesday hosted by The Ross Group and Westlake Brewing and Libations in Westlake Village, CA. Thank you to all who gave towards "The Shoes That Grow" campaign. Your generosity will allow us to hand out 233 pairs of shoes to needy children in Uganda NEXT WEEK! As you recall, these shoes grow five sizes to last a child up to five years! They are durable and offer protection for the feet of little ones and adults alike.

twelve2co - two college students take action

Madison and Emily are two college students who heard about Buyamba through a family friend. As they began to build their business , Twelve2co , they knew they wanted to be able to give back. After researching Buyamba, they fell in love with our mission and the impact we are having on Uganda and decided to partner with us.

Twelve:2 is "two Aggies" coming together in a creative way to glorify the name of God with the mission to serve the people of Uganda."

Twelve:2 is based on Romans 12:2 which reads, " Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Madison and Emily are donating 20% of their sales directly to Buyamba in an effort to raise funds and awareness in their community. They are offering headbands and decals here: Twelve:2
Thank you Twelve:2 for being an example to us all of how we can make a difference with our skills, time, talents and dedication.

ugandan mist ... coffee with a purpose

Buyamba has the great pleasure to partner with leaders of organizations and businesses such as Lake Victoria Coffee & Tea. Founder Eddie Huff has selected Buyamba as one of his three organizations to "give back" to.

In the summer of 1982, Lake Victoria Coffee & Tea founder Eddie Huff, then a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), met a bishop from the Church of Uganda who was visiting Holland. Eddie was moved by the story of how thousands of children in Uganda had been left orphans under the brutal and murderous dictatorship of Idi Amin. The nation had been devastated and was in dire need of help from the outside.

In 2006, Eddie received a request to host Pastor Bethuel Dongo in his home through Buyamba. Eddie asked Pastor Dongo to bring 20 lbs of raw, green, Ugandan coffee with him and Dongo did so. Upon getting the coffee roasted in Tulsa, OK, and giving samples to friends, it was agreed by all that this was some of the finest coffee any of them had tasted and that Eddie should get more. Lake Victoria Coffee & Tea Company is a fulfillment of that vision and request.

Their goal is to support Uganda in two ways. 1) Supporting the economy by buying the coffee from the farmers and employing those who will prepare it for shipping to the U.S. at our partner plant in Uganda. 2) Sending proceeds from the sale of the coffee and tea back to the schools and orphanages like God Cares School.

This is yet another great example of creative giving! Eddie is now selling his coffee at Ugandanmist.com
