What an awesome time we all had at St John's youth group last week! Emmanuel (Coopy Bly) was invited to perform and minister to the youth of Healesville in a mini concert. It was a really special time, and everyone had so much fun, dancing and jumping along to the music and were all left touched and moved by his deep, inspirational lyrics. Thanks for all those who attended, may God richly bless you, just as you blessed us! :) #blessedtobless #lovetotheworld #giventogive

Rolling Hills Primary School
Our school outreaches have continued to be a huge success with another great day held at Rolling Hills Primary School! We were able to interact with over 120 students who absolutely loved the drumming workshops and paper bead making classes! The best part of the day would definitely have been the 'Question Time' when all the children came together in a big group. The kids were soooo interested in finding out more about Uganda and Emmanuel's life that this session ended up going for an hour and a half! The students were also very interested in listening to Emmanuel's Music (Coopy Bly) so he was able to treat them to a performance of his new release song 'Guruka'. The Children loved it and danced and jumped to the music! Such a special moment!
Thanks for having us Rolling Hill's Primary School, we were truly blessed by your hospitality and keen interest in life in Africa. Hope to see you all again soon!

Bayswater North Probus Club!
Well, what a special morning we had visiting the lovely women of Bayswater North Probus Club!
It was a great opportunity to meet with these women and share our passion, and the work of Yimba Uganda with them. The women were really touched by the presentation and we had some incredible feedback, including multiple women stating that 'it was the best presentation they have ever heard!' So praise God for that! :) A big big thank you to these women for inviting us to speak to you all, and an even bigger thank-you for the great generosity shown to us through support of our up-coming female sanitation program. May God Bless you richly!

Primary School Incursion #1
The team at Yimba Uganda has had an action packed week so far!
Monday and Tuesday we spent time with students at Lilydale West Primary School teaching their 5/6 classes about the unique Ugandan culture, how to play African drums and also how to make hand-made paper beads. Both days were a huge success and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there! We have also received great feedback from both students and teachers. The students absolutely loved making the beads, and were eager to go home and teach their parents and siblings. They were very interested in Emmanuel's knowledge of Uganda and asked many insightful questions! A big thank-you to the students and teachers of Lilydale West Primary School for inviting us to your school, it was a great experience and we hope to visit you again soon!
Our favourite questions of the day:
'Do all Africans have dreadlocks?'
'Do Africans only eat fish?'
