Support Girls and Women with Vocational Skills

August 11/2017

NEWS LETTER

Dear Friends,

Thank you for praying –Our girls are developing their vocational skills.  -Miriam trained in hair dressing and recently she trimmed a visitor’s hair with her scissor.  David was impressed at her skill. You may recall that Miriam came to us as a total orphan and has lived at GLH since child hood, she studied to primary level and felt she wished to develop specific skills in hair dressing and music.  She is leading a church choir, whilst another girl Janet is helping with keyboard playing. They have commenced developing a choir group they have named as 2017D.   

We were thrilled with our Australian visitor to GLH.  We have had lovely time with him helping analyse building needs-and costs.  While here, he recommended a phased building approach should we get an opportunity of raising 237Millions to begin with.   He recommended that the money we have been used to complete the staff living accommodation, dig a bore hole and purchase a small farm to grow food for our daily needs.  He produced the phased drawings, officiated at our girls’ graduation ceremony.  Photo attached- He encouraged them not to relax in their next endeavours.  He bought us the keyboard for the girls to practice on.  

 Prayer requests and thanksgivings:

1-Janet to find a key board player teacher and salary to pay for this service –A teacher asked for UGX 300,000 monthly and could also train others.

2-Farm land purchase to happen soon.  We have looked at land at Luweroo, but there is the challenge of an access road to be it to be solved with a neighbouring farm.

3-David particularly wished to thank and praise God for His wonderful favour always, for safety on the roads and very successful three weeks with GLH. 

Psalm105:19 – Until the time comes for God to fulfil His words, the word of the Lord is still testing us, like it did for Joseph when he was in the prison.   His words were: Nehemiah 2:20 The God of Heaven will help us succeed.  We, His servants will arise and build our school.  

Blessings,

James
