The kids in Uganda deal with so much like what I have written out below.
Several stories pop out like the girl who
told me she can't always take both sugar and soap
to boarding school so she takes just soap as she has to have it to wash her clothes.
Even if school fees are covered kids still have so many needs. School shoes are a big one
because of all the walking most do in
muddy slippery conditions the shoes wear out fast. $15-$20 is beyond what most families can afford to pay for shoes when a typical wage is $1-$2 a day. Plus some kids feet grow fast
but many are still wearing the same size clothes 3 yrs later.
To grow only 3-4 inches in 3 yrs isn't much.

They can wear clothes for a long time but shoes have to be replaced a lot.
Some children wear old torn clothing that is very dirty.
If anyone can help by buying some soap and other things for kids without sponsors that would be great.
Some kids beg to find sponsors to attend highschool but its very expensive and most parents can't pay any fee so the child quits school after grade 7. I've listed some items the kids need most. Any amount given
will help out our un-
sponsored kids greatly.
Highschool fees paid 3 times per year . $110 a term (3 terms/yr )
Soap $2.50 per child
Sugar $2 per child
School shoes $15 ages 3-8 & $20 ages 9-17
Salt and cooking oil $3 per child
Notebooks $3 per child
School socks $3 per child
