2 weeks back!

As my previous posts indicates my February visit was hard.    So many tough situations to witness.
It was mentally draining  for me, how was I going to take care of what God had presented me with.
I always loved the children and people of Uganda with the love of a mother.   This visit my love was more intense, my love was God's love.  Very humbling. My emotions were not explainable, so I prayed asking God how I could explain. He put Psalm 51 v 17 on my heart.   The sacrifice that is acceptable to God is a broken spirit,  a broken and worn down heart.    This verse explained exactly how I felt during my visit! 
.
DUHHHH It is not going to be accomplished through my skills and knowledge.  God was going to work through me.   God's  power is UNLIMITED.

Support Request

Monthly medical bills are growing  ~~$500.00 per month. We will be deworming all of the children this month this adds an extra $160.00 to the bill.
Easter Dinner-   $1,200 to provide the children a meal at Easter. 
Sponsorship  - Currently 94 students sponsored we need 114 to meet our monthly budget.Difference is met through my fund raising efforts
Secondary student school supplies- $900 still needed

Sponsorship -  Answer to a question I was recently asked.
How I come up with the number of children that need sponsoring and why  does it change?
First my goal is to have every child at the Christian Friends Mission Academy sponsored.  Current enrollment  356.(down about 50 from last years enrollment) That would be $6,400 per month.  WOW what could be done with those funds!

The number of children we need sponsored is based on the budget commitment I make at the beginning of each school year.
The budget  pays the teachers salary,  provides a meal for every child and provides personal items for every girl. As we add new teachers or give teachers a raise,  make a change to the meals, the budget goes up so the  number of children  we need sponsored goes up.
Additions to this years budget
2 new teachers and added an Administrative role.
We now serve a meal of rice every Friday this one meal costs as much as serving the children porridge Monday -Thursday.

The sponsorship program is $25.00 per month.100%  goes to the child covering their school fees and free medical care for their family.  The sponsor receives pictures, letters and report cards from the sponsored child.
The sponsored child is proud to have someone in the US that loves and prays for them. They are happy to attend school.  
I will be visiting Uganda again early October,  I will bring small gifts to yo.ur child when I go. You will receive pictures of the child receiving the gift
Contact  Sandy Gannon s-gannon@hotmail.com if you are interested in sponsoring a child.
