Child Sponsor Program

12 Children now have sponsors, this is a true blessing from God. We have provided hope for these children and their families. Through the sponsorship program the children have received mosquito nets a hog or a goat, gifts and letters from their sponsors. Their school fees have been paid and the school has received steady income that pays the teachers monthly salary and feeds the students porridge daily and 1 special meal a week.
The goal this year is to have 40 children sponsored. This would cover the schools monthly operating costs.
The sponsorship program - $25.00 a month or $300.00 a year. You will receive letters, pictures and information about your child. It is powerful and amazing to see what a small amount of money can do to change a child, change a family, change a school, change a village.

The teachers have identified 5 of the neediest children for sponsorship.
Vincent Seninde - baby class
Joyce Nasazi - Primary 1
Ruth Najingo - Primary 4
Tony Kavuma - Primary 6
Kasozi Godfrey- Primary 2

Womens Sewing Business

We met with the women and the youth several times during my visit. On Saturday Pastor Lydia, went into Kampala very early to purchase the sewing machines. She then arranged to have a pick-up truck bring them to the church. 4 machines were purchase 3 different types. 2 old singer sewing machine (like my grandmother had- no electricity needed) a binding machine and a heavy duty machine. The women were very excited I then taught them how to make pot holders using a loom, They called them table mats and come up with several ideas for additional products.

Next step for the sewing business is to find a place to rent. The rent is about $150.00 per month. I am selling jewelry, and other products to raise this money until they are bring in enough money to cover the rent.

The young girls were very excited about having pen pals from the US so if you are interested let me know!
There were also interested in learning how to use Computers, knitting and sewing. We have put a plan in place to take care of these requests.
Julie (my personal chef) taught the girls how to make friendship bracelets they were amazing coming up with new designs.

Together I had an amazing time with my Ugandan Sister and daughters.
On Sunday they gave me a gift of flowers made from beads amazing!
