...................................Tanzanian Painting for sale

I have a Tanzanian painting of a Giraffe and Mt Kilamangaro in the background.
It seems to be painted on feed sack. It is also signed by the tanzanian artist.
The item will be sold for a minimum donation of $9 and the shipping cost is
$6. You can pay through paypal for this item.

All proceeds from African items sold will benefit the
School.
I'm trying to purchase mosquito nets for some the kids so if you would like to make
a donation of $3 or more it would be very appreciated.
Nets cost around $3 to $5 in Uganda and they save lives.
Children get malaria from mosquito bites and they get very sick.
Some don't survive if their very young or unhealthy.

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

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
