Why care?
Many of us have passed through a hard
life as we are from polygamous families. Our parents separate
and some die when we are very young and we don't see them
until we grew up, and it is not easy to stay with stepmothers.
Mothers die when we are 8 years
old or below and fathers always marry five women beyond .
Orphans are left with elder sisters or step mothers
who also die when they are still young.
Mothers divorce when children are 8
years old or below and they never see the love of a
mother. And to make it worse, mother get married to another man
whose wife is expected to have died of AIDS and of
course mothers are affected also. They fell sick and
unconsciously die. For one month and up to now orphans loose
their mind and can’t grow with good mind, can’t
recognize people as friends and on top of that, elder sister
loose their husband who also die of AIDS. We have four children
who are before us and need church care. They were born 3 sisters
and 1 brother. Their parents died of an accident.
The same story is happening to
thousands of children in Uganda. They have no one to love them,
many have lost both parents, others one parent. And when one
parent dies, the other parent is also a moving dead. Most
children have ended up on streets, eat from dust-bins and others
are crowded with their grand-parents who of course are unable to
care and help them. Many girls are forced into marriage by the
unbearable situations at the age of 14 e.g. lack of school fees,
clothing etc. So the whole story makes one to shade tears. And
because we have lived the same way in one way or the other, we
strongly feel a love for these needy children who have lost
their parents because of AIDS and many other calamities.
We would love to show them love
that they’ve missed. For the last years, we’ve been
looking for opportunities, how we can help orphans and
many other disadvantaged children. We share the little we have
and sometimes some of our friends give a one-time financial
gift, which gives us a relief. Our desire is to have a sponsor
for children in need. We need to start a
school with a purpose of meeting the education need for
the orphans and poor needy children. That is our dream. Locally
we can’t meet all the needs for these lovely children, we need
people to stand with us, to show love in a practical way and the
Lord will not forget our labor, so we call upon the entire world
to sponsor children who are needy through our church ministries.
For our plan is to help utmost 10,000
children, so please pray with us and do the needful by God’s
grace. ( Jinja Church).
