Bob and Gloria will be going to Uganda after waiting three long years due to Covid. Going along with us is Jerry Jones a video photographer from Kansas, he has shared many stories by video photographing from Africa with other organizations. He will collect our time in film, info and photos while in Uganda to share the mission story. We are excited to share all that he collects and edits together from our trip with our friends in the USA. We leave very early July 16th from the Medford, Oregon airport and meet Jerry Jones in Colorado. We will be flying together and sharing a dream to help in every way we can.
Heart 2 Heart needs to raise funds for the cost to send the three of us to Africa. The costs include multi-visas, vehicle transportation, gasoline, lodging, food, bottled water and incidentals. We plan on feeding hearts and spirits while going from the city of Kagoma to the village in Kisoro. In the Rain Forest of Southwestern Uganda we are excited to greet the Batwa people, the oldest tribe in Uganda. It will be a 10-12 hour drive one way from Kampala. We will be gone 36 days on our trip total. We are hoping to feed people along the way and do a solar project at the new school land in Rubanda District in Uganda.
We are asking for prayers for our fundraisers and the preparation for our upcoming trip in the next 3 months. Our goal is to raise around $7000 to fully fund our trip and to be able to help and gift the children we meet. Check out our website to see when, where, how and what type of fund raisers we are doing. You can also give directly by clicking on the donate button at the bottom of this page.

Heart to Heart to Heart Initiative was honored to host the leadership of “A Uganda Without Orphans.” Represented by Bishop Kaggwa Daniel, Pastor Luswata Drake Moses, and Mr Phil Green of World Without Orphans. We celebrated with the Children of the Heart to Heart Centre and the Kagoma Women. Our Message was about the Continuum of Care and we encouraged the women of Kagoma to open their homes to children at risk, to embrace care for orphaned and needy children and this message was well received.

“The proof that you love someone is not that you have warm affectionate feelings toward them. The proof is in your actions, your words and your sacrifice, your willingness to give the best of yourself and your willingness to get nothing in return“

We have moved a long journey with our Batwa friends at Kasovu, we love them and we know them, they are good friends, God has connected us in a divine way. Food comes every so often for the Batwa, when it comes they share as a family. From just food handouts, we have been able to give hoes and seeds for small farming and building houses, we thank God for this hand up.
Thank you to Faith Ablaze Missions, a worldwide mission outreach ministry founded upon the rock Jesus Christ! Their mission is to faithfully preach the gospel, partner with mission groups in outreach to help meet the needs of the poor and encourage them with the love and power of God! They recently donated a motor cycle for the Friends of the Batwa projects. They have been a true blessing.
Greetings from our new school land for Heart 2 Heart Primary in Rubanda district, Uganda. The building needs indoor toilet and plumbing for a kitchen as well as plaster for walls and floor and paint. This is an estimated cost of $3,500. We are hoping to raise the funds to be able to stay in this building on our mission this June. This is good stewardship, we would rather spend the money here in a sustainable manner than to pay for a hotel.
We have 6 acres with beautiful views to build classrooms and space for agricultural opportunities along with many other educational assets for the children to learn. Our plan is to have a fully fledged school in a period of five years. When we have a school completed, we will start with 50 children, Uganda’s standard number for one class and then add 10 – 25 children each year until we make 300 Batwa children in our school along with children from the surrounding town to be inclusive and diverse.
Our partner in Uganda, Africa, Richard and his wife Vian Mwesigwa. They are working hard to help the people of the Batwa. Please donate to help with accomplishing his hearts mission.
