In need of food. Help the hungry today !!!

Jan 28,14 9:30 pm

Probably the biggest problem the kids in Uganda face each day is hunger.
Some kids get only 1 meal a day and usually that meal is the school lunch they're served.
Kids have told me before that there was nothing at home to eat.
Sometimes they would only drink tea. Imagine what it would be like as a young child
to wait many hours during the day to get 1 simple meal of beans or cornmeal. This is why
Ugandan children are often underweight and have stunted growth due to their poor diet.

That's why we're planning to do more food related projects .
We plan to also take more food and deliver in some of the poorest villages in the Jinja area.

Will you help us? Below are photos of when we distributed rice, beans, sugar, potatoes and soap back in Oct. Make a donation on our blog with pay pal! Click the yellow DONATE BUTTON at the

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
