Dear friends and family!
With great joy I am writing to you about the PLE scores for our boys.
First just a quick explanation of the PLE.  The PLE is the Primary
Leaving Examination.  It is a very big deal here.  It is a
standardized test.  There are four areas:  Math, English, Sociall
Studies, and Science.  The top score you can get in any one subject is
a 1.  Then they add all of the scores together and you get an
aggregate score.  Then there are four divisions.  The prize is to be
in Division one.  It goes down from there.  I am so excited to say
that Peter got an aggregate score of 7 and is in Division 1, Sadic got
an aggregate score of 12 and is in Division 1, William missed Division
1 by only one point with an aggregate score of 13.  So he is Division 2.  They all did so well!
On another note, The three boys that ran away are doing fairly well.
Godfrey will be going to boarding school in Entebbe, a Swedish young
woman has sponsored him.  Dissan will be going to boarding school with
the sponsorship of a man named Sebastian.  Davis is still struggling
but Abduhl and I are both counseling him to behave well to be able to
get a second chance.  Praise the Lord he has not been doing drugs!
That in itself is a huge improvement.  He is a very hard worker and
will do just about anything to earn money.  Please pray for these
three boys.  We still love them (of course) and want the best for them.
The other boys are doing well.  School starts for them on January 31.
It is a new school year and all of the boys were promoted to the next
school level.  WooHoo!  They will be starting at a new school in
Kalule, the area outside of Bombo.  The boys in secondary will be
going to boarding school to help them really focus on their studies.
Thank you all for your prayers and support!  Please don't forget to
write to the boys.  The address is Box 4981, Kampala, Uganda, East
Africa.  Please just address the letters to A Perfect Injustice.  If
you want you can put the boy's name on the back.  Please never mention
money, do not give out e-mail addresses or phone numbers. They are
your friends and we do not want them to view you as a bank.
