Through the International Needs global organization, children around the world are being sponsored . When we visit Uganda, it is quite easy to see the difference between a child who is sponsored, which includes attending a Christian school, two meals per school day, a uniform, school supplies and medical attention, compared to a child who is not sponsored and cannot afford to attend school consistently if ever.
Sponsoring a child not only helps the child, it helps the whole family because now there is one less child in the family to feed, and hopefully more for other children in that family.
We leave this Tuesday for Uganda. We have a list of 116 children in the 2 main areas we visit – Buikwe and Kiyendi – who need to be sponsored. It would be wonderful if anyone reading this blog would let one of us know that you want to sponsor one (or more) of the children on this list – we would be happy to visit that child while we are there and tell them a little about their sponsors in Canada.
You can email any one of us on the team to make this happen.
Please pray for the spiritual and physical health of our team as we depart during one of the most uncertain times in this world.
When we signed up for this, we of course had no indication that there would be something called Covid-19. We were aware of course, of the possibility of Ebola, which is always a concern, but thankfully no issues in that regard where we are travelling.
