Family # 4 Jane

Jane has 4 young daughters,  she is a single mom.  Her husband died several years ago, cause unknown until recently.  Jane  after  several month of illness  learned she is HIV positive.   Her husband died several years ago undiagnosed. Now the cause is known.

Good news none of the daughters tested positive.

Our October visit we learned that Jane was keeping her daughters home to help her. She is to weak to tend the garden and do what was needed to care for her family.  She needed her daughter help.

Kisoboka is now providing Jane and her family with a monthly food supply.  The food supply will help Jane take the HIV medication without becoming sick.  We are also exploring ways to help Jane establish a business that she has the energy to do.  (we have done this successfully in the past)

Kisoboka is gently and lovingly lifting a family out of extreme poverty by providing  support for Jane, and educating for her 4  daughters.

KISOBOKA-  It is possible.

Family #3 Betty 12 years old

A very fragmented family.
Betty is 12 years old in the 7th grade.  She lives with her uncle.  Betty was a twin, her twin sister and both her parents died, when Betty was  very young.  She does not remember what caused their death.

Betty told me she has another sister,  Nasozi Flavia  in the 4th grade.   Her sister Flavia is living with another family. 

Betty dreams of becoming a Nurse, she wants to heal the sick and prevent death.

The year of the family Week #2 Pastor Deo

Pastor Ssalongo Deo 32 years old,  a very  humble man born in Bakka, married in Bakka and lives in Bakka.  He did work in Kampala for a shot time in his life, his job  in Kampala allowed him to support his family.   God called him to minister in Bakka.
Pastor Deo has one wife Nalongo Teddy, together they had 6 children, I say had, early 2013,  Samuel their 11 year old son passed away from malaria.  Pastor Deo and his wife could not afford to pay for the malaria treatment.  Malaria treatment ranges between $5.00 and $11.00.  A very sad unnecessary death.
His remaining children, Winnie is in Senior High entering the 10th grade,  Rita,  Anocka, and twin girls Babyira Edith and Nakato Rachel.  (All available for sponsorship.)
The Church Pastor Deo serves is called Grace Power of Jesus Church.  He ministers to the elderly, the orphaned, the widows and the handicapped. It is a very humble position and does not provide  support for his family.
During our  October  visit it was identified  Carolyn needed help with Daniel's care.   Pastor Deo immediately arrange for members of his church to help Carolyn.  The support from the church has been amazing, one of the members cared for Prayer,  Carolyn's young daughter for 3 weeks while Carolyn and Daniel were both hospitalized.

I never dreamed

In 2008 my first visit to the village there were 78 students at the school, hungry and diseased filled. My heart broke, I felt God's pain. The school had no children in the 7th grade and none of the children knew how to dream.   I made a promise to God,   I will work everyday of my life to help these children.   I have faithfully kept this promise! 

  
I never dreamed 
How much JOY this promise would bring to me personally.

Kisoboka is now  supporting 50 Students in High School! 
22 Students graduating from the 7th grade and going into High School.
26 Students already in High School
2 Students are graduating from Senior 1 and will be going into Senior 2. 

In 2 more years we may have our first  college students!

Until 2010, NO child had ever graduated from Christian Friends Academy.

 God has an amazing plan and I am very excited to be part of this amazing adventure!!!
