..................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.

NEW SHOES!!! March 17,2010 2:13pm Here's the kids with their new school shoes! Thanks to all who gave so the kids could have shoes! They still need help paying their rent and to buy chickens to raise. So if you can donate again it would be wonderful!!! You can see in the photos that your money is ALWAYS used exactly as specified!!! URGENT UPDATE 3-13-10 9:50 am The Orphanage is needing help paying their rent. They have to move to a new house since the one they are in now has been bought by somone and they are being forced to move within a week. All the kids are crying and worrying about where they will go since they don't have $100 (monthly) to rent a new house. Some of the kids wouldn't eat because they were too sad yesterday. Won't you donate and help the kids move to their new house? If they don't have the money by next week they will just be on the street with no place to go. They Need Your Help Now More than EVER! They are praying for somone to Help! Donate...

...................URGENT 8 kids can't go to school if they have no fees!

This is Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids need fees by May 25th to go to school. 6 kids have fees already so that leaves 8 without fees. I soon hope to be selling Ugandan necklaces to benefit these kids also. Won't you consider buying an African craft or pay a child's school fees? It's only $15 a year! 8 kids will not attend school if they no fees and these kids all live together in the Orphanage, they are like brothers and sisters and if some kids attend school while the others can't it would sad. So consider making a donation for the kids even if it's only $1 or $5 they will be SO HAPPY! THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED SO FAR!!!
