SponsorshipPlan to become involved in our mission's projects:
You can be a key part in making all this a reality. All fund raising activity in the U.S. is being done on a volunteer basis. Adopt a ChildUganda Missions is looking for sponsors for its orphanage program (Project Haven). The ongoing support for these children (food, clothing, educational needs and medical care) is costly. So we are looking for loving and caring people to "Adopt a Child" and help support that child on a monthly basis with a gift of $65. This gift helps meet most of the needs a child have. (The story)
Right now in our care, we have 48 orphans, but there are still many who need your help. This year Eunice and Sarah made that number of 48. Eunice is 10 and Sarah is 8. These two girls were born in northern Uganda, which is now a war zone area. They were so lucky to escape the atrocities of the "lord's army". A neighbor helped them to hide in the bushes but their parents did not escape. Later, they were reunited with their grandmother who had migrated to the southern east part of the country. Unfortunately, their grandmother got sick and died. Eunice tells their story that they lived in the house for a while by themselves and were chased off the property by the villagers. This is so common with orphans who have been cheated of many possessions as both parents passed. Well to make the long story short, they walked 50 miles from Jjinja to my mother's village. A good Samaritan found them wondering in the dark at the nearest town looking for food; because she knew that my mother has been raising children like these two girls for a long time. These were the lucky ones, because a lot of children in this situation if they don't get lucky; are abducted and sacrificed in rituals.
Mother has raised so many children like these and still does. She says that nothing gives her joy than seeing the kids she raised come back to visit as responsible adults with their own children whom she gets so proud of saying "my grandchildren." Eunice and Sarah are now in school and they have adjusted very well. But they need someone to sponsor them. I always say that a little put in God's hands multiplies so much to make a difference. Together we can make a difference in the lives of so many kids. The little baby girl seen on the front pages of our home page was adopted at mat young age by a couple in the United States. At the time, the laws were so difficult to adopt. But they supported her, and until now she was finally united with her parents in the United States.
