A much needed incubator has been purchased for the Bishop Asili Hospital by Just Like My Child Foundation

Vivian Glyck spent a great deal of her time in Uganda participating in meetings about existing and future projects with Bishop Asili Hospital.

Travis carried Peace Packs with him all the way from the children of San Diego to Uganda, Africa.
The children of Katikamu recieve Peace Packs that were put together and given as a symbol of friendship from elementary school children in San Diego California, where Just Like My Child Foundation is based
The children of Uganda are happy to have a hand made ball fashioned out of plastic bags and banana fibers to play with.
The recipients of the Peace Packs were very grateful to recieve such a kind gesture of friendship from the children in the United States
Vivian and Travis get one last look at the school building project in Katikamu before flying out of the country. The roofing is well on it's way!!
