What an exciting day Saturday was for everyone at HOOL!!
We were able to rent a car and travel to Jinja for food and birthday supplies because of so many generous donations this week. This was especially appreciated as we were experiencing a food shortage at the orphanage. God Bless each and every one of you for your love and support!!

Not only were we able to provide food security for the children, we were also able to celebrate birthdays for two very special little girls. A huge thank you to their Sponsor Moms Sheri and Lea for the amazing celebration we were able to have for them. Both girls are new to sponsorship so this was a very special day for them!! Sheri and Lea have contributed to our cause in so many ways already and have been such a blessing to us all.
Happy Birthday Catherine Mwandu and Sheila Birungi (pictured with Tonny), we love you so much!!
We were also SO excited to receive a package from Lea as well, how awesome!! Lea did a lot of research and found a website that partners with non-profit efforts, grants and donations to send books around the world. Better World Books accepts most of their books through donations and uses literacy grants and such to ship them, and they only took three weeks to arrive at HOOL.

Cathy and Sheila — SO HAPPY!!! (pictured with Eddy)
How can we possibly put in to words what this means to us?! Your donations are so much more than money to us, they are life and love for these children. Thank you all for the incredible gift of food security and for this beautiful celebration, days like this offer so much hope to the children and everyone here!!
