BHTFUSA Team is back from Uganda
Our recent trip to the Village of Kaihura was a transformative experience filled with meaningful achievements that directly impacted the local community.

The BHTFUSA team is gearing up for departure July 14th to visit BHTF Uganda. Anticipation has been building for months for team members Laine, Christine, Gene, Janine, and Christian, and they are all ready to go!

BHTFUSA was proud to welcome and host Dr. Faith Kunihira, founder of Bringing Hope to the Family, during her annual trip to the USA to connect with donors and partners. During her month-long visit which began in mid-April, Faith made several stops around the country including Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

This year has been phenomenal for Bringing Hope to the Family USA, marked by substantial growth in awareness and a renewed commitment to our mission. Our impact in Uganda is tangible due to the tireless dedication of our amazing BHTFUSA volunteers, board members, and supporters. In this issue of Pearls of Hope, we have a couple of stories to share that demonstrate what Bringing Hope to the Family is all about.

Welcome to this Special Edition of Pearls of Hope. We are back from our annual trip to the Village of Kaihura, and as you’ll see below, it was a highly productive three weeks. Let’s get right to it!

We were honored to host Bringing Hope to the Family founder Faith Kunihira’s return to the USA during the month of May. Highlights of her visit included events in Nashville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Calabasas. (See photos below). All of these events nurtured existing partnerships, which have grown over the years, and fostered new donors, many who have chosen to walk alongside us with recurring monthly donations.

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.” – Sophocles. Greetings valued donors and friends. During this month as we celebrate love, we are reminded of our calling and purpose of helping those less fortunate.

Our generous donors have facilitated the construction of the Shalom House, a structure designed for and intended to house approximately 46 boys, 9-14 years of age. The square footage was increased to accommodate growth and a room for the House Mother, Margaret.

July is one of my most favorite times of year because it’s spent in Uganda with our sister organization, Bringing Hope to the Family Uganda. It’s a time to visit with the community of children and young adults who are under the care of the organization and to catch up on their many activities and accomplishments. We derive immense joy and satisfaction witnessing the positive impact our organizations have made over the last several decades.

The Village of Kaihura has an Ambulance!

Thanks to YOU, our generous donors, the Village of Kaihura now has its own ambulance.
