Ang Tulay simply means, “The Bridge” in one of the Filipino languages. It is a week long “journey” over the bridge using steps that help both children and adults work through their grief and trauma. See the link below for more information about Ang Tulay and also Precious Jewels Ministry.

What I love about it is the creative nature of the program. It includes stories, music, art, drama, small groups, and activities. I (Nicole) have seen with my own eyes the difference just this one week can make in a child’s life, helping them to share their painful experiences, for some, maybe the first time in their lives.
The implementation has taken place at the Hopeland base in Jinja since June, where a team of staff from Hopeland, Torch and Arua bases have been working alongside the Precious Jewels team to make Ang Tulay relevant to the Ugandan culture.
We held Ang Tulay in Arua in September with all the staff and it was another learning experience for all. I personally love the YWAM Uganda family getting closer and seeing my Arua family part of this journey too! As our mission states, we are called to be "a bridge of healing to the nations." Ang Tulay=The Bridge!
This month we have been evaluating the work so far and looking ahead to the future of Ang Tulay not only in Uganda, but in East Africa and maybe even beyond!
