..................New House!!!


11:53pm Aug,14

This is the new house that is renting,
It is much bigger and better than their old orphanage.
It has running water but they are
currently having trouble paying their water bill. They are in need of $75.
If you can help it would be greatly appreciated. New photos of the items bought
for the kids last month should be posted by next week.
From the recent sell of the necklaces the children were able to get 5 mattresses,
30 lbs of Rice, 35 lbs of corn meal,
and 25 lbs of beans. They also got a soccer ball and a few other small items.
Beans cost 65 cents for 2 lbs and corn meal is 55 cents for 2 lbs
Rice costs about $1 for 2 lbs.
Mosquito nets were also bought for around 5 kids in June.

Money for food is always needed because feeding around 20 kids can get expensive.
You can make a donation for any of the items listed above just make a note on paypal
so we'll know what you would like the money to be used for!
I also have a few necklaces left and if you buy 1 the money helps buy theses items listed for the kids! The necklaces are $6 plus $2 shipping and I only have blue or green necklaces left.

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

------------The Video we've all been waiting for!!!

THE KIDS WILL BE SO HAPPY AND SURPRISED WITH THEIR GIFTS! THANKS EVERYONE! UPDATE!!! Sept 26 9:22am I've started a chip in page to raise funds for the kids. I want them to have a nice Christmas. We've raised $30 far. For some reason it does not show up on Chip in. Maybe because some people click donate instead of Chip in. So that's $30 of around $550 that I'd to raise. The kids need a few more mattresses and shoes etc. The also need more nutrious food. Sept 13, 1022pm These are some of the kids from the Home. Hope you enjoy the video. Feel free to comment if you like it. Thanks to ALL who have donated to the kids so far!
