I am often asked why Uganda ? Sandy there is so much need in the US, why Uganda. I will never know why God called me to Uganda but he did. God showed me horrors that I have never seen before and he called me to make a difference.
In Uganda God gave me a family of 400 children filled with disease, malnutrition, bug lava in their cracked dry skin, worms in their empty bellies with no hope. These children are are often traded as slaves to other farms, many are abused by their guardians,or worse by people offering their families a hopeful future with education for their child and actually selling them into the sex trade.
I am on
my knees every morning asking God to please help me provide, food
shelter, clothing and joy for my family in Bakka.
What would you do?

Farouq - Update
Dear mom Sandy,
i pray you are fine. We came back late yesterday and i couldn't send you these photos. According to the doctor, Farouq is responding well to treatment and has gained strength. It is unfortunate that he could not be operated to remove the deformation but his life has changed tremendously because he can do all the things he couldn't do by himself before. He is very lively and active. He no longer misses school because of the heaviness he used to feel in his chest.
Farouq stays with his mother and sometimes his step brothers Semakula and Mukibi; they share the same mother but different fathers. The mom only works in a small garden right behind their small house. It is from this garden that they get food to eat at home.
Farouq's mother, though concerned, didn't have anything to do about her son's situation. But again, she was ignorant how dangerous it had gotten. The boy was extremely weak, he could make several stops on the way to school to get some rest, he could hardly attend a full class session and could some times be carried back home by the bigger boys before the end of school day. It was after mom Sandy insisted that we visit a doctor that we realized that his situation was worse than we thought. He needed immediate medical attention or else he stood a high chance of losing his life. We immedeately started treatment and the boy responded so well. So much that was hidden on the inside of him is being revealed today. He loves to play and h is very friendly. He has a good appetite, unlike before.These changes have happened his his life because of the support of Mom sandy. Thank you so much and may the Lord richly bless you.
One other problem he has is hernia which couldn't operated while undergoing the current treatment.
The children are starting school on Monday the 14th. That is next Monday. Yes mom, I received the three umbrellas. They were in the box with the medicine. Thank you so much and may the lord bless you.
Much love
Hope

Amazing- support
Amazing things are happening! We only need $5,000.00 to purchase the land next to the school. This is amazing because we just started working on this 2 months ago.
Donations are coming in for everything, shoes, school benches, pregnant goats, land, food, medication and the best gift a donation to build a bigger house for Hassan and his guardian. His home was too small to hold the mattress when we visited.
God is blessing this project.
