Dear supporters friends,  

I thank you all for your the support provided!  2013  had been an amazing year filled with miracles, joy and hope. During my visit in 2012 God gave me a task that was incompressible to me. Improve the children’s health.    I prayed made the commitment tried setting things up, tried to raise funds to visit in February. None of the things I worked on were successful.  BUT  God was so faithful in answering my prayers. In the Spring of 2013 we connected with Show Mercy International.  

Show Mercy built a medical center in a village not to far from Bakka.  An arrangement was made.  The children from the Christian Mission Academy, their siblings, parents and guardians could all go to Show Mercy Medical Center and they would not be charged. I would receive the bill

All the children were treated for worms, any child with jiggers, malaria and any sickness could go to Show Mercy and  be treated.  We provided every child at the school with a mosquito net, every child received a pair of najina shoes.   This is wonderful all the easily treatable diseases taken care of.

Now the hard stuff started surfacing, I knew it was there but there were no faces connected with it yet, HIV.   A child 5 years old had been at Show Mercy very sick every week.  The nurse at Show Mercy told me she should be tested for HIV.    The Mom did not want to face the pain and the stigma having  HIV would add to the already desperate family. 3 young children and a  struggling mom.   After a commitment from me that we would provide, she took her family to be tested.  When the results came back she was devastated.  She was HIV positive and so was her young daughter just as suspect by the Nurse at Show Mercy.  She now knew what took her husbands life.   This family is now provided with food and transportation every month.   The cost of this care $60.00 per month. This provides food that they NEVER dreamed of being able to afford, but will help them from being ill from the treatment.

Fundraising for 400 children and all their family  receiving medical care is not a small task. Fundraising to providing food for the 3 families identified with HIV monthly is also not a small task.

In addition to medical treatment I am also working on protecting children from being sold traded or arranged marriages.  This is also not a small task. I feel very strongly that I need to go to Uganda in February when the children return to school.  This is when most children do not return and we have to spend a year trying to get them back.  I will be on the ground and working on it.  An American on the ground can make a difference, 3 out of 5 children have been returned during my visit.

100% of the funds raised go where they are dedicated. This project has NO OVER HEAD,NO ADMINISTATION.  100% of your money goes where it is designated!
