Our first in-person Lift Up Uganda Board Meeting was held in October at St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in New York. This allowed the board sufficient time to discuss future goals and needs. Self-sufficiency is our foremost goal for 2025. The best result of this meeting location was having Deacon Richard Okello with us in person. He is our Uganda Director and is a third-year seminarian. Secretary, Rachel Cunningham, joined us remotely. A potential new board member, Jillian came as our guest.
