The Right Reverend Stanley Ntagali of Masindi, Uganda wrote:
The Diocese of Masindi-Kitara in the Province of the Church of Uganda (Anglican) is very blessed to have, since April 2008, Ms. Janine LeGrand as the first Missionary officially sent by the South American Missionary Society (SAMS).
On arrival Janine started working as the Diocesan Health advisor concentrating on nutrition and hygiene. She has taught many individuals and families to improve their diet and control disease especially malaria which is a major killer disease in Uganda. Children and pregnant mothers are the most affected members of the community.
Janine is a very instrumental and creative person. She has been very helpful in the coordination of mobile clinics throughout the Diocese in partnership with Medical Mission teams from South Carolina. Because of her dedicated and faithful work within the diocese, we recently appointed her to work as the Diocesan Health Coordinator.
She is a humble and faithful missionary who respects the culture and values of her hosts. She loves the people of Masindi and relates with them well. She is very busy learning the local dialect which is “Runyoro”. She is loved and commonly referred to as Aunt Janine. She joyfully accepted a local pet name of “Abwoli”.
Masindi-Kitara Diocese is benefiting from her dedicated work and I am very thankful to her for her personal contribution to the growth and development of the young Diocese. We shall be celebrating our 5th anniversary in December 2009.
I would also like to thank the South American Missionary Society for sending a mature, hardworking and faithful missionary. We are very pleased with our partnership with SAMS.
Janine is seen as a real gift and blessing to the clergy and Christians of Masindi-Kitara Diocese in particular and Uganda in general. I would like to thank to all those who have supported her work and stay here.
