Hello!
Greetings from the children…!!!
So far it’s a busy march,2018 with too much rain and planting. Our staff and some of our beneficiaries started with clearing the land recently.
The rain has started has given us hope that there will be no drought as we have been expecting. So far we have planted 1 and half acres of maize, and beans.
Currently we are taking care of 20 children and 2 caretakers. We have also been working on vegetable gardens for the kids and hope to try a monthly planting scheme with irrigation to ensure more steady supply of vegetables.
In our vegetable gardens, we grow Black beauty egg plant, carrots, Giant noble spinach, pickling cucumber, Red acre cabbage, Green arrow pea, Dodo, among others and we are looking forward to teaching the children about gardening and the importance of health eating during holidays.
However, we have been buying maize flour and beans through your generous donations. But if all goes well, it seems in the next 5 months we shall be able to feed them our own maize flour and maize after harvesting.
We have also welcomed one caretaker to the project: Madam Florence Mudondo the mother to one of our children Peruth Babirye.
This season being so cold, the children have seriously fallen sick which has really increased the medical costs for us.
The psalmist says that we must give justice to the weak and the orphans so we are without excuse if we see the orphans who are afflicted and don’t do anything about it. We must “give justice to the weak,” meaning that we have to do something about it.
