Way to go Samuel!

Ronald called and asked if I had heard the announcement on the radio about Samuel Balinda?
What announcement? I asked.
His test scores were in the top five in the district!
They announced his name last night and this morning on the Voice of Tooro radio station.
He was the top student in his school and one of the best in Kabarole district!
Ronald brought me a copy of the national newspaper with the test results. Samuels name was there. He is listed as one of the brightest in Uganda.
We are so proud of him.
After church we had a party.

Cheryl looking good.

We took Samuel to Mbarara and met with the headmaster and Deputy Headmaster of Ntare School. We had a tough interview but Samuel was accepted.
This is considered one of the best schools in the country!
President Museveni and President Kagame of Rwanda both went to this school.
In the future students are going to be asking which dorm did Dr. Samuel Balinda live in?

Congratulations Samuel!

I'm glad to hear such great news. Dawnette and I were just talking last night about Samuel. I am working on an idea... I'll tell you later. Just pray for the "idea" so God will give me clear vision.

Please, please let us know what he may need for his new adventure.

peace.

Wow,
It just seems like yesterday that the kids at Faith Quest were raising money to help Samuel live. God is good. Samuel is a testimony to God's grace, power, and love.
Thanks Jeff.

Samuel came yesterday and we bought some of his supplies for school. Today he and I will drive to Mbarara which will take about four hours. He has orientation tomorrow. Sam's email is balindasamuel@whereheleads.com
