Dear friends -- I first thank you for financial support  and all your prayers . Am happy to inform you that. Baby Gilbert is born today at 9.15 a.m. The mother is out of the theater  still very weak , it is likely we shall be here until Wednesday  of next week then we shall be planing to go back to Kasese.
Thank you so much without you this would have been impossible  I called him Gilbert to recognize my friends that played a very big role for him to be born. Now it gives a lot of challenges , what will I ever do  to friends. they have done so much to me.  Thank you
Godfrey D  Kasozi
