Educate and support 60 orphans in Kampala

Dear Friends,

Thankyou friends for your prayers and support throughout August.  Let me tell you about some random things. Tracy and Judean celebrated their birthdays. Tracy makes 3 years from the zero age when she joined GLH.  We had rain water that was collected from our recently given tank that has reduced girls’ movements for water. However, rain isn’t back in full capacity and so our tank has never got full, hard to estimate practically how far it can go with girls when full.  Patience too got sponsored which really thrills me ; (forgive if I don’t mention your name).                                                                          

I had a lovely call on zoom with a UK organisation, I shared about GLH to them and the talk was very lovely. Please pray that this will bring good outcome in the future when our needs are presented to the board meeting expected in September.  Obviously, there are many lives still needy.  I promised last month to work on our school building specifically to fix in window glass, we have been able to complete that. Again many thanks for your support 

Lockdown:  The government declared on 30-July, 42 more days of school and Church closure.  We are yet to hear from our president on what comes next on schools and churches opening. The government is trying to make sure that all teachers are fully vaccinated before schools opening. Some staff, like Justus Abitegeka (Deputy H/teacher), at GLS/H have been vaccinated already with no issues at all despite the fears of many.  There is so much false news.

 Learning continues to be family based; Teachers supplying work to different families where our children come from. GLH is well equipped with a regular routine of children reading on their own. There is a need for more of reading materials and a desktop computer at school for effective implementation of the programme. Girls (GLV) focus this month has been on their usual learning but concentrated on sewing machines, hairdressing and Keyboard playing as well as guitar learning. I like their interest to develop their skills. Devotions -(reading God’s word /prayers was the order of the day) There were many small cases of children sickness like flu, fever, ...but through our first Aid box we are able to treat them.

 A sad story in the month was an abrupt sickness of Gerald, one of the older GLH young men, who is currently studying Bachelor’s in Law at Makerere University.  He was taken to hospital and tests showed no covid or malaria but the recurrence of his stomach issues which he needs to learn to live with

 I really value your prayers and supporting comments..
