Gulu Uganda Project
It was a happy day in Gulu when Sisters Marion, JoAnn and Pat moved into their new home.

Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, at the request of the Church, went to Gulu, Uganda, in June 2008 to assist the Acholi people as they recover from 25 years of civil war. Ugandan children were forced into military service, family members were killed and missing and farmlands were lost in the war. Many now live with AIDS, malaria and chronic malnutrition. Through education, health care and catechetical formation, the Sisters assist in efforts to rebuild family and village life and culture. Read about their experiences at http://csjgulu.blogspot.com
