Returning to Uganda
Hello blog readers,
I will be returning to Uganda on October 11th. This weekend at the women's retreat we raised enough money to purchase 7 sewing machines for the ladies.
3 weeks ago the Women from Uganda identified this as a business opportunity they would like to pursue. God hand is in the success!

Semester Break
The Christian Mission Academy semester ended last week. They will return mid September.
During the break the school will have windows, doors and a new bathroom installed. New benches will be added to the class rooms. The children will now all have a place to sit. The teachers will no longer need to carry there supplies to the storage area every night.

Sponsorship Program
Hello All,
Last July we started a sponsorship program for the children of the Christian Academy. The program started with 5 children identified by Pastor Frank, the neediest with the most potential. The program was a huge success. The children have received mosquito nets and last Saturday the children received either a goat or a pig through the sponsorship program.
Through the sponsorship program, other fund raising activities and generous donations the children now have 2 teams the boys football team and the girls net ball team, all of the children enjoy participating or watching these activities. All the children in the Academy will receive backpacks. 20 more children will receive mosquito nets. The girls 12 years old or older will receive underwear. They all are learning the love and caring heart of our Lord and Savior, this gives them hope and allows them to dream.
This year the goal is to have at least 40 children sponsored. This will meet the operating cost for the school, and changed the lives of 40 children and their families. Please consider sponsoring a child, I promise you it will be the best $6.25you spend in a week.
Sponsorship Program $25.00 monthly or $300.00 per year.
School receives $20.00 to provide all the children with a daily meal, usually the only meal they will have.
Child receives a gift with the remaining $5.00. The monthly gift of $5.00 is saved until something can be purchased that will improve the child's life. In April the children received mosquito nets and last Saturday they received either a goat or a pig.
Geofrey Kaibwe is the child of the week. Geofrey is 10 years old. He loves to play football and math is his favorite subject.
He suffers from Abdominal pain,malaria, skin disease and has tumors.

Water
We take water for granted. When the water main broke in Massachusetts it was a big deal. We could not drink the water from the tap, it was a big inconveince.
The children at the Christian Academy have to walk twenty minutes to a boar hole to fetch water. They usually have to wait in line for twenty minutes. The adults in line push a head of them. They then carry the water on their heads home before they walk to school. The boar hole is only open for a short time every day so the water does not run dry. The children often fetch water from swamps because they were not able to fetch it from the boar hole.

I am very grateful that Masitula has a sponsor now! If anyone is interested in sponsoring a child let me know. The school has 210 desperately needy children and only 10 of them have sponsors. s-gannon@hotmail.com.
Or if you would like to make a donation to purchase mosquito nets the cost is $10.00.
Any donation is greatly appreciated!
