Hello All,
We had a goal of raising $1,000.00 to complete the roof on the building so the children would be able to start attending the new school. We raised and I sent it today.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED!
While I am very excited there is still more to do. We need to raise another $4,000 to complete the school.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!
My heart is aching I have a family in Uganda that I am not able to provide for. There are 110 children that I made a commitment to almost a year ago. I am still short $5,000.00 to complete the school for the orphans. The only commitment that I have been able to keep is I send them enough money for them all to have a daily meal of porridge while attending school.
The new school is not completed so the children have been attending the old school for their first 2 semesters. The conditions of the school are horrible. The outhouse is over flowing the school is in the process of being torn down. The old school is condemned and the new school is not complete. This will prevent the 110 children from attending school in June. While the school is not ideal, the teachers are not qualified to teach. It is a place for the children to go and be LOVED. The group of women that teach the children are very kind an loving and teach the children of God’s love. The school is their only hope of a future beyond being a slave.
Some Americans and Canadian visited the children in the fall. The children were all tested for Aids (all are negative) they were vaccinated and dewormed. This is wonderful and an answer to many prayers. The Canadians provided mosquito nets, and a couple honey mooning in the Village of Baka were able to hang 9 of them. Then the Americans from Texas took 40 children from the village to sell for Adoption. 4 of the children were adopted the remainder have been scattered. The Government in Kampala found out the intentions of this individual and shut the project down. I am not sure all the details will ever be known. Please keep these children in your prayers they may be in situations that nightmares are made of.
The Pastor of the school ran off with some of the money for the building project. The families the children are staying with are not allowing them to go back to school. The adults that surround these children are not kind. I have received letters from these children thanking me for providing food for them and enabling them to attend school.
Fund raising is extremely difficult in this economy. I have never directly asked for money it is a very difficult thing for me to do. These children are desperate and I can not be proud. PLEASE consider making a donation.
I promise that 100% of the money donated will go to the children. ANY size donation would be gratefully appreciated. My Sunday school classes has raised over $500.00 by collecting change. ( I am the Sunday School Superintendent )$1.00 is enough money for 5 meals for 1 child.
1 Meal .18 cents
1 Teachers salary $45.00 per month
