Mark Weaver of West Lafayette returned 22 March from the first half of a six-month mission at the Canaan Children's Home in Buziiki, Uganda (photo, right), according to an article in today’s Indianapolis Star.
A volunteer intern, he works with about 400 children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic and war. In May, he will join 27 Purdue students and four Purdue Christian Campus House staff members in Uganda. Weaver, 26, is a 2004 graduate of Purdue University.
Last year, according to The Star, he won almost $58,000, including two cars, on “The Price is Right” television game show. After taxes, he said he had about $15,000 remaining, and used most of that money on trip expenses and to help the children.
