This Mother's Day we want to celebrate the women who've cared for us, loved us, listened to us, mentored us whether these were our birth mothers or other women who've shared their hearts and lives. This group of mums live at the foot of Mother Teso land in Eastern region of Uganda. They help us care for babies through mentoring, childbirth assistance, pre- and post-natal check-ups and immunisations.
When we were growing up, we had our grandparents by our side to look out for us and instill good values, when our parents were away. Then, we were introduced to the nuclear family concept, where families these days do not have grandparents, and children are by themselves. With unrestricted access to almost all media and content, children start assuming that it's ok to consume and imbibe all the content and replicate them in their daily lives. This results in we failing to teach moral values.
A Mother is a strong Tower in the community. She stands full of strength, when you encourage a mother, you are solving many problems. A Family without a mother finds it difficult to make progress. A mother is a champion of the family. She helps keep the family stable. "If I had a friend who was a new mother I would advise her to relax and accept that God is in control." - Jane
Today, we give thanks to the women, past and present, whose guidance and encouragement has made us who we are today. And we want to pray for God's blessing on the incredible mums in our Child Sponsorship Program. Happy Mother's Day!
