About Us

Lindy grew up in Lima, Peru during a dictatorship and constant terrorisim.  She saw first hand what it was like to live in a third world country with significant personal needs and poverty. Lindy moved to the United States when she was 18 years old. She has five married children and twenty one grandchildren and one great grandson. In 2009 Lindy was asked by Christian Community Action to teach English to the local Hispanic community.  This volunteer service instilled a desire to help those in challenging situations.

 

She later got involved with an organization that provides hygiene kits in Africa. She personally oversaw the completion of 500 kits. After all that hard work she decided to go to Uganda and distribute the kits personally. She has been to Uganda 5 times not only to help with distributing feminine hygiene kits, but to also educate young girls and women. While there she taught sewing skills to enable families to provide for themselves and be self-reliant.

She works with local businesses, organizations, and individuals to collect fabrics, sewing machines, tools, and basic necessities to distribute in Uganda.  Lindy has a huge love for the Ugandan people and wants to help in any way she can.  Her passion is quilting, sewing, cooking, baking, and dancing.

Jennifer Maynard brings her passion for service and love for adventure to her role as Secretary of Celestial Hands Africa. A licensed paramedic with experience in 911 emergency response, Jennifer has been traveling to Uganda since 2018, developing a deep connection with the country and its people.

 

Beyond her professional life, Jennifer and her husband live on a farm where they care for a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, highland cows, and family pets. They are also beginning a journey into lavender farming. A devoted mother to two girls and a boy, Jennifer balances her roles with dedication and a heart for helping others.

Nhu-Thuy Le started her journey of service by helping immigrants learn English and adapting to American culture. She prided herself in giving back to her local communities. Her support grew further afield with Sole Hope through fund raising and collecting materials to make shoes to combat jiggers in Uganda. Then she met Lindy and Celestial Hands. Not only did she learn to sew better, she was given an opportunity to use her skills as a teacher and her love of adventure, crafting and service. She has since been on two missions to Uganda.

 

Thuy is mother to Christopher and Anna and currently resides in England with her husband, John. She views the world through the lens of an immigrant from war-torn Vietnam that given a supporting hand, opportunities arise to improve one’s lot in life. She hopes her service to others can open doors that once seemed shut.

John Price is recently retired and loving life!  He is an Electrical Engineer by trade and loves doing projects.  Celestial Hands has turned into one of those projects!  He has taken two trips to Uganda and has developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of the people and country.  He enjoys helping his wife Lindy accomplish her passion helping the Ugandan people.
