................Christmas Items!

Jan 14th 10:54 am
A box of clothes from a generous donor arrived at Home today.
The box contained 10 pairs of boys shorts, 4 girls shirts, and 2 packages of underwear & pencils. If you would like to mail a box of gifts to the kids post a comment here with your email address and we'll be sure to get back to you ASAP!
We're still waiting for a few other packages to arrive.
I'm sure the kids were happy and surprised to get their new items!!!
When they receive their camera they will post photos of the kids with the items!

UPDATE Jan 11, 12:03pm
As of today only 4 more kids need sponsors! Thanks to all who have given! Food is still a problem so any amount donated helps a lot! View the video of the kids at the very bottom of the Blog!

Update Jan 6, 12:53pm
The kids are currently in need of school fees. Their new school year starts 3 weeks from now. School fees are only $22 A YEAR! That $22 includes lunch everyday and tuition. Currently 6 more kids need their school fees to be paid. 13 have already been paid for! Click the yellow DONATE Button on the right hand side
of the blog! Did you know that most kids in Africa may only eat 1 meal a day. That's their school lunch. Some kids can't even afford a few dollars for their tuition so they share with their friends. Sometimes 4 or 5 kids eat out of 1 bowl.
That's all they will get for the day. If you could even spare $1 or $5 it would be great. Thanks from the kids!

Dec 15, 1:45pm Help the Children have a holiday meal.
They would love to have chicken for Christmas. It is a Ugandan tradition for everyone to have some type of meat during the holidays. That is the only time they can afford it. If the kids don't get any funds for meat they will have to stay inside all day during the holiday because the director does not want them to feel sad if they see neighbors having a nice meal. Any amount you can donate will really help! They currently may only have tea to drink and no food at the orphanage.
Can you imagine a Holiday with no food?

Here's is the items bought with the "Christmas Fund" Money!
Several shirts and pairs of sock and underwear. Candy , Small toys, pencils, pens, batteries and a camera. The shipping was $54.
The other items in total were around $75.
That is what your Money was used for! We Thank You All for your Donations!!!
You can still donate. Any money raised will be used for food and school fees for the kids! Once they get the box with their camera we should have more photos to post of
the kids with their gifts!!!

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

Home is low on food

Nov 16, 2:43pm URGENT Update! 3 kids at the Home have malaria and they have no money for medicine. If you could donate it would be so appreciated. Malaria is a very horrible illness. Without medicine they will not recover. Donate by Chip In or click the Yellow "DONATE" button. Photos of the sick children with Malaria are at the bottom of the blog, their names are Oliver, Emmanuel, and Betty. Pray for them and consider helping them! This photo is of the new beds for all the kids! Thanks to everyone who gave donations on this site! The kids got beds for Christmas! November 13, 1:40pm The Children are low on food now. Each month they usually run out of food. If you would like to like to make a donation for food for the kids click on the Chip IN button. Always beds were bought for all 19 children with some of the money we have raised from their Chip IN button and other donations. The "Annamani Orphanage" and " Christmas" Fundraisers are still going on. C
