MUKONO, Uganda - Work is almost complete on a maternity and childcare hospital built to serve the Batwa population by the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas.
The $20,000 facility is being built using funds approved by the diocese's outreach committee. It is expected to be completed in August, when several parishioners will visit southwest Uganda as part of ongoing mission efforts by the diocese in that central African nation.
