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 Video we've all been waiting for!!!

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.
