YWAM Arua mixed deaf-hearing Go-Camp

 We were really happy to welcome Kampala volunteer Hellen, circled, as sign translator and our partially-deaf friend Walter, above centre, from England who brought lots of passion; puppets from his church and laughter! 

Our local training was very well planned by Helen. The outreach preparation included bible study & practical exercises to know God more and make Him known better. We also learnt more about living with a physical disability Although we had five deaf (inset) at first, lack of parental consent/ support meant only one completed the outreach.


On the YWAM Arua deaf-hearing Go-Camp 
we investigated the production costs of home-brewing…

…with the help of one brewer and agreed it is unprofitable. Then our team went to Labone market-place where the local alcohol is traded. There we performed a drama about ploughing to encourage onlookers not to give control of their lives to alcohol any more. We then practically showed the financial losses home brewing brings. Then, with the willing help of local brewer women we showed how a fresh lemon cordial can be easily made in minutes rather than days, is profitable and has far greater health benefits to children,. We closed with a song that was later broadcast on local radio.
