I was given an opportunity to share with the Bible Fellowship Class that morning. I taught in the word and shared my story from our community. I talked a lot about Child Sponsorship in Kabale and the life of a sponsored child, since most members of this Bible Fellowship sponsor children in our community. The members asked questions concerning their children and the difference made by their support.
A sponsored child in our community is much different from children that are not sponsored. We give our sponsored children; School uniform, shoes, medical care, lunch on top of school fees. They also attend Saturday classed at church where they learn the Bible and other skills. We have witnessed these children transform by and by. They have grown spiritually, socially and morally. They also speak good English.
Most children in are community have lost their parents or are too poor to afford school fees. In
This way, we will break the cycle of poverty and lack since a child can learn skills and be given tools to be self sustaining and help his siblings and family.
Most of the children involved in crimes, have not gone to school and in most cases they on the streets look for ways of survival. Our dream is to offer solutions to this dilemma in our pursuit to transform our community.
Our dream is to take as many children to school as the Lord provides. It takes $35 a month to take a child from the street and take him to school.
