Gift For Every Child
Thank you to everyone that contributed to the gift for every
child. We have achieved the goal! All 400 children will receive a gift of a
nylon back pack with a pen, pencil, pencil sharpener and another small

The top performers in every class will receive a regular
back pack.

Children are traded and sold every day to get money for food or basic needs. The sponsorship program has helped to rescue
several children.
A sponsored child is less likely to be traded or sold. Only
1 sponsored child has been sold in the 4
years I have been managing this project and we are still working to get her
back.
Getting her back is my number one priority during my visit.
Please consider sponsoring a child or if you are sponsoring
a child tell a friend, relative or coworker to consider sponsor a child.
100% of the sponsorship goes toward educating, providing
health care for the child and their
family.
Hog Project
The final payment was sent.
The gift that keeps on giving. An
update on the project will be provided next month.
End of the year
celebration- We will transport the
children in to Kampala
where they will visit several business.
The trip is to make them aware of the opportunities that education will
provide. Coke is one of the factories
they will be visiting.
Cost of trip for 400 children $2,000.00 providing lunch and transportation. Praying
for better weather than last year!
