Good Days Are Here!

8/10/16 9:15am

Since my trip in June we have been able to gather some new sponsors for several
kids in our org. 10 very lucky kids who got gifts and supplies for school and will be able to continue being educated.

A few babies will also be receiving food . We have more kids waiting for help.
We want to reach out to those in the most desperate circumstances. Invite friends. This is the BEST WAY that we encounter new people who wish to help the needy! Thanks to all who have shared our posts and invited others to join us. Their lives are turning around. When this family below moved further away they thought they'd never see any of us again and never get help again . But we have done our best to keep them in our org and have made monthly visits to see their progress. Being a single with mom 8 kids and no job can't be easy. They receive food, clothing and small loan help to survive the harsh life in Africa. Nothing is simple in Africa and we are striving to show these kids a world beyond their small villages .

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 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.
