................Christmas Items!

Jan 14th 10:54 am
A box of clothes from a generous donor arrived at Home today.
The box contained 10 pairs of boys shorts, 4 girls shirts, and 2 packages of underwear & pencils. If you would like to mail a box of gifts to the kids post a comment here with your email address and we'll be sure to get back to you ASAP!
We're still waiting for a few other packages to arrive.
I'm sure the kids were happy and surprised to get their new items!!!
When they receive their camera they will post photos of the kids with the items!

UPDATE Jan 11, 12:03pm
As of today only 4 more kids need sponsors! Thanks to all who have given! Food is still a problem so any amount donated helps a lot! View the video of the kids at the very bottom of the Blog!

Update Jan 6, 12:53pm
The kids are currently in need of school fees. Their new school year starts 3 weeks from now. School fees are only $22 A YEAR! That $22 includes lunch everyday and tuition. Currently 6 more kids need their school fees to be paid. 13 have already been paid for! Click the yellow DONATE Button on the right hand side
of the blog! Did you know that most kids in Africa may only eat 1 meal a day. That's their school lunch. Some kids can't even afford a few dollars for their tuition so they share with their friends. Sometimes 4 or 5 kids eat out of 1 bowl.
That's all they will get for the day. If you could even spare $1 or $5 it would be great. Thanks from the kids!

Dec 15, 1:45pm Help the Children have a holiday meal.
They would love to have chicken for Christmas. It is a Ugandan tradition for everyone to have some type of meat during the holidays. That is the only time they can afford it. If the kids don't get any funds for meat they will have to stay inside all day during the holiday because the director does not want them to feel sad if they see neighbors having a nice meal. Any amount you can donate will really help! They currently may only have tea to drink and no food at the orphanage.
Can you imagine a Holiday with no food?

Here's is the items bought with the "Christmas Fund" Money!
Several shirts and pairs of sock and underwear. Candy , Small toys, pencils, pens, batteries and a camera. The shipping was $54.
The other items in total were around $75.
That is what your Money was used for! We Thank You All for your Donations!!!
You can still donate. Any money raised will be used for food and school fees for the kids! Once they get the box with their camera we should have more photos to post of
the kids with their gifts!!!

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

Sept 28, 6:36pm Raised $156 So far! Keep the donations coming! Hopefully we will meet our goal! Sept 28, 2:30pm UPDATE WE'RE UP TO $132 SO FAR! WOW. 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!

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!!!
