..................Help Mary and Others like her!!!

Aug 30, 3:23pm

This is Mary with her Grandfather Ojuuk. Her story is below!

There are 19 kids who need a uniform.
Here are some of their names and ages.
If you want to give them a uniform
Boys uniforms are $12 each, girls are $10.

If you pay for a uniform for 1 of these kids listed below then
you can also be their pen pal. They are the only kids
without a pen pal. I have photos of these kids also and a group
photo several posts back.
Ronald age 13, Mary age 9
Tonny age 10, Maria age 11

Here is Mary's story if any of you would like to help her.
You could also provide her with a mosquito for $3 or a mattress
for $10 along with the uniform. She would really like a new friend.

"The kids Home Uganda, has been a major inspiration, not
only to the orphans but to many others around the region.

Every day we appreciate all we have as we are constantly touched by stories
like this one about the old Mzee Ojjuk and the grand Daughter, Mary.

Mzee Ojuuk's story I had a very good life before the war started. I did not have
to worry about adult matters.

It was not long before the militia arrived and burnt down their house and
destroyed their livestock – their only means of survival.

Ojuuk's family fled to a compound was attacked, and Ojuuk was separated from his
family, only to learn that his two sons and daughters was murdered and his wife
Killed in the panic of fleeing in the morning Ojuuk found all his children and
the wife killed and leaving the young Mary crying far in bush he took her and
they joined the camp in Soroti, they moved from camp to another town and
finally they arrived in Masese lake side suburbs in Jinja town.
Ojuuk and the granddaughter was brought to them by the village
leader. Reaching there Ojuuk says I have finally found HOME for
my granddaughter I can now die and rest in peace.
Ojuuk is 77 years old and Mary 9 years old.

How family life is in Uganda and Join our FB!

April 3, 2019  2:27 pm To sponsor a child visit us at www.auntiesangels.com or https://www.facebook.com/groups/229498890486607 I wanted to share a bit about family dynamics in Uganda as well as some other things not known about their lifestyles. The only way to see or know these things is to visit and spend a good amount of time there. I'm still learning even after all these years. Many of our kids live without fathers but may have more than 1 person that they call "mom or dad" . In cultural traditions A child has a mom and any of her sisters are called "mom". The mom's brothers are usually called "Dad" as well. For their "Dad" any of his sisters are called Ssenga = Aunt. and any of his brothers are called "Jomba =Uncle. Now this mainly applies to deep villages since in Kampala and Jinja the 2 largest cities are filled with people who are educated and they know the difference between Aunt, Uncle , Cousin etc. Some people

Uganda Healthcare and Ever increasing needs.

8-12-18 9:24 am After spending several months in UG its time to post about things I saw while there. Regarding healthcare and extreme needs in rural Kamuli. One of the most poor and illiterate places in UG. There is an increase in the Hep B disease but not enough vaccines to go around. Someone on the news said a health care worker told them if your already going to die, just die. I have no idea why compassion , care & sympathy is so sorely lacking in Uganda especially among the health care workers. It's very tragic when families can't even afford as little as $5 to treat malaria , typhoid or anything else. Missionaries say they've witnessed nurses and docs laughing at and ridiculing patients who can't pay . Some even have little babies who die because no nurse will touch them until money is paid. We recently had a young girl wait 11 days for a simple hernia surgery. No explanation as to why other than they were "busy" and no one ever has the chance t
