Dear Friends!
Happy News 2015 and Glory to the Lord for seeing us through January so far. GLH feeling for this New Year is sending out monthly brief news letters. Here is for January!
There have been lots of activities –Some children working on sugar plantation, Paintings…,….
January 1 was happy day kids jubilations for a new year –They nearly had foregone sleep waiting to see a new year. We want thank you all for helping with our feeding needs. Kids had a goat slaughtered for them, some guardians were given meat, special foods...May God bless you heaps and heaps!It has gone well for us and no cases of serious sickness registered so, glory to God.
Looking specifically at Jabarah ( photo attached!) is a 10 year old boy orphaned by both parents. He grew up thinking that James and Sylvia (Matron) werethe biologicalparents until of recent when he wondered why they are so many in the family (at GLH) compared to other homes. Jabarah has no any experience of biologicalparents. When his parents died, some one took over the responsibility and this boy was being caned for any small mistake he could make until one day he run out of thathome went on the street to start his personal life where GLH co-founder(Late Patrick) found him,helped him and followed up his story with the legal people. He is a lovely boy now in p.3 at GLS –He is a practical boy, silent, he feels to becoming an engineer or a carpenter in future. His age seem to be quite old compared to his class locally. He is very confident with time management so is GLS school time keeper. Supporting such kids is serving God –Isaiah58; 7 “I want you to share your food with the hungry and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. When you see someone naked, clothe him!”
It is still continuing struggle for our feeding needs and school fees as money from GG has run out. The money which is currently shown at Global giving website was effectively used last year and so far in this year 473 pounds has been raised. Thank you to all who have stepped in with their support in January as it has given us hope already.
We still need next class for p.3 and our focus is to expand by buying a nearby plot of land with some existing houses which could act as immediate solution for next class. The owner wants 40 M Ugandan Shillings (£10 000) and 20 MUgSh (£5k) has been given to GLH already looking for the 20M (5k) more. The owner is very much willing for a full payment. Alas,our school term opens up on monday 02/02/2015.
Any help could come through global giving UK or mark who could be contacted at markshawhamilton@hotmail.com
Again, on behalf of GLH, thankyou so much for your continual help.
Best Regards,
