Educate and support 60 orphans in Kampala

Dear Friends,                                                                                                                                                                                       

Thank you for your continued support to GLS and GLH. God has given us another chance to share about the school progress.  We have had guardians meeting where we discussed plans for their children-  Shared about our Child protection Policy and explained about child abuse forms (Physical, sexual and Emotional) –GLH shall continue following these forms of abuses .  We encouraged parents about prompt fees payments for those who pay

Other GLH life

 There have been study tours to Kidepo National park, Kampala city square and Museums . Children had exposure to practical aspects of what they study in class. They saw amazing wild animals and appreciated how they adapt to their living environment.GLS Teaching continue to Improve with students doing more of personal reading, group discussion see attached photo of  children  discussing . We are buying school text books from any small money that comes in to support the reading habit of our children.  

 Several members are now working at our farm to help with Children food production.

      We welcome Jakisa Nyitho, our Science consultant Teacher.  He is here to volunteer by teaching our primary 7 class. We pray that his time with us is smooth. The classroom block construction is ongoing The foundation raised is very strong that it could hold any future build given the finances.  Friends have suggested for a temporary roof as we wait for the Lord to provide in the future.

      Sad news.   GLH children lost their lovely cat they named it ‘’LOVE’’ it was buried on 10/o7/2018 in deep sadness since it has been showing them love and helping to chase rats at GLH. Some children cried in the process of paying their last respect. May God bring comfort to our children and trust God for another lovely Cat.

       Prayer Request

1-Regular funder to come on board. We are praying for $1,150 monthly for 5 years to be able to maintain the support we are giving. Any contact to friends outside there will be appreciated.

2-GLS Classroom block to be finished and School text books

3-Classroom chairs, Tables when the class block is finished.

4-The Lord to talk to one brother about his visit to GLH this year or early next year 2019. He has deeply encouraged us to move in the Lord we love him so much –Pray that the Lord will provide $5,000 for his air ticket to Uganda. 

5-Global Giving Visit this year and that the Lord provide protection/safety.

6-Our GLH team to thrive and that we are able to have a farm house there as soon as possible.

Blessings,

James Mukiibi                      

Dear Friends,

Through your continued support over 40 children have been supported; loved, clothed, fed, educated and given a future. Thank you so much; every donation and donor is special: thank you so much

  Money has gone to James Mukiibi from UK in two ways.

A total of £3309 has been given to me and I have given a receipt to each donor.

More has been given through direct debit via GlobalGiving. (They can claim Gift Aid for GLH though they take a %)

 What are the highlights of the year?

First is the obvious.   40+ children have been supported: housed, fed, loved and educated: a huge thing to celebrate.  “Thank you”. James’s continuing problem is to get regular funding. We have several AIDS orphans and so far James has been unable to get regular support even for them

 James started a small vocational unit (GLV) for the post primary girls learning dress making and hair dressing. The unit was affiliated to a local College and the girls all passed the end of year exam despite having limited equipment. “Tools with a Mission” (they collect used tools from UK and send them overseas) have donated sewing machines so this year even more progress should be possible.

End of year celebrations

 God’s Love School (GLS ) opens the final class this

month and they will sit the primary leaving exam next November. The school has two aims.. to provide a good Christ-centered education and, through selling surplus places help fund GLH. In the past the % of fees that have been paid has been low: in 2017 this was done more efficiently. The real limitation is in the size of the rooms limiting the class size. They are in the process of building a small classroom block so the final years will be a good size. An Australian friend of GLH has given enormous practical help here

 A generous American friend has kindly bought a small farm about 20km from GLH; this should  help feed GLH

There have also been lowlights (if there is such a word)

Recently one of our senior girls was kidnapped and held for ransom or she would be killed. Initial demands were for over £1000 but she was released for much less.  I am so relieved but she has been through a real trauma. When people have little it is so easy to envy those with a little more.  (Kidnapping can have a dreadful outcome; you might refer to “Susan Magara” on the internet).   One of the older orphans has graduated with a first class diploma in Law; lacking the right contacts he is finding it hard to get a permanent job

James mother has been very ill. James himself is getting over typhoid

 So a very big thank you but can you turn these dry points into living prayer. As usual if I can answer any queries please raise them  01633 615339
