The New School

Thanks to U-kids for all their hard work this summer! They finished the first floor of the new school building just in time for school to reconvene for the August session. The kids were so excited to see the new building. This new school building is a blessing for our continually growing Christian Life Ministry kids. The students will continue to use the old school building, as well, until the second floor of the new building is complete.

The kids are enjoying their new building with it’s new desks and they’re anxious to begin learning. Teachers too are enjoying the new classrooms which are equipped with black boards. Such a simple thing can make such a big impact on the ability of students to learn new concepts and teachers to teach. They now can use the blackboard to communicate & demonstrate ideas and list important information they are teaching. Visual aids help both the teachers and students organize information to be learned. The use of a black board can help to create an interactive and varied learning experience. Thus reaching students with a wide range of learning styles or abilities.

The new building serves babies to Primary 5 students where they have a variety of classes which includes: Math, Science, English, Writing and Music. They spend about eight hours at school each day and learning is such a large part of their every day life. We are so glad this facility has been furnished for them to continue the enrichment of these kids.

We cannot thank our wonderful sponsors or U-kids enough for their generosity without your help none of this would be possible. We pray this blessing upon each of you. “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
Proverbs 11:25

We are thankful for a gracious and wonderful God that allows us to be apart of these children’s lives and watch them grow. Praise the Lord for a school building that will help these children continuously learn more and more each day!






Because of Calvary,

Great news about our future school!

As many of you may know, we are planning to build a permanent school in the village this summer. The UKids mission team will be in Uganda to make this happen this summer, and they have been hard at work fundraising for the project.

In fact, they just completed a fundraising event, the Bowl-A-Thon, in which they raised $22,000! Praise God!!

We are challenging donors with buying a classroom for $7500 each. We have at least 5 of the 15 classrooms purchased. I am calling donors to help with this cause. Please help us provide a permanent school for our children.

We staff this school with all-Christian faculty so the we can make sure the education that our children are receiving is in line with our faith and our mission. We built our temporary school structure last year, and the results from that have been tremendous! We sent 17 children to the prestigious St. John’s this year after their entrance exams were so phenomenal! What smart children led by a brilliant staff!

Please consider donating to this cause! Every little bit counts! If you are part of a prayer group or church, see if you can challenge your fellow members to cover the cost of a classroom or two!

Please call on your community to help you with this cost! We appreciate all the help you can give.

A Must Read for Sponsors: Some of our Kids Earn Excellent Marks on Entrance Exam!!

Hello all!!

I write with great news! Our children recently took an entrance exam to be able to go to a prestigious middle school. The scores are in, and boy are we proud!! They earned some great marks and will be accepted into the middle school, which means they will be leaving the village. So, sponsorship for that child will discontinue, but we do need a donation to be able to send each child to school in the amount of $250 per child. We are calling on current sponsors, so please check your voicemail and email if your child is listed below! If you would like to cover this fee for a child whose sponsor cannot, please contact us immediately. We will let you know if any of our sponsors couldn’t donate the full amount to see what sum is remaining to be able to send that child to school. We are so proud!

Feel Good Story about Deaf in Uganda

Take a moment and read this short article, “Education Unleashed Potential for Deaf.” http://allafrica.com/stories/200911020799.html

Stories like this are inspirational for me. I have all of my senses, and it is sometimes a struggle for me to not create my own boundaries. I see success stories like this, and it reminds me that I can do anything I want if I try! I hope this serves as a little pick me up to all of you out there who need that reminder that God has given you able body, mind, and soul to achieve almost anything!

Dormitory Burnt at Homisdallen Primary

Please pray with me as the staff, children, and families of Homisdallen Primary school in Kampala, very near our Seeta orphan village, recover after a fire tore through one of their boys’ dormitories, eating away all of the boys’ assets. Luckily there was no one hurt as the P5 boys that resided in the dormitory were out to dinner and the P7 boys were out studying for their final examinations coming up. There was one boy in the dorm for the fire, but he managed to escape unharmed, Praise the Lord! It is suspected that the fire was caused from a hot iron being left plugged in, sparking fire on a nearby mattress.

Please pray in thanks that no children were injured in this fire, and pray that they will be relocated soon so that they can have a place to live and continue their schoolwork.

Campaign for Desks

I thought this article brought to light just some of the minor difficulties that many children in Uganda endure. There are many schools that cannot afford to provide desks for the children. Lack of desks lead to bad posture, exposure to very dirty floors complete with allergens and irritants, lack of comfort which makes concentration on school work difficult, etc. Our children have desks, thanks to the donations made for our school construction. Such a small piece of furniture can make such a large difference when raising the future of Uganda. Thank you for helping us make these children's lives better!

Thank you again for all of you and your support of our orphan ministry!

We need your help!

After news that the private school that is currently educating our children has drastically raised the tuition fee, we are now seeking donations to build a semi-permanent school in which we will educate our children next term, which starts next week!

This will enable us to hire all-Christian teachers that can teach both the basics of math, reading, science, and history, but also how to apply them in becoming a Christian leader for future Uganda.

We are excited and challenged by this situation, and we are turning to you to help us make this possible for our children. To start this school, we will need $27,000 USD. This includes the desks and printed materials. The maintenance and teacher salary will still be covered with each sponsored child's monthly sponsorship donation.

We have already received one generous donation of $5,000, and we are hoping that many of you will commit to this need and make a difference.

Please consider donating. Even small sums will add up to a large difference. Also, please pass the word along. Advocate for this cause with us to help us take care of God's children.

Thank you for all of your help, and God bless!
