TRIP TO THE USA

USA 2ND TRIP 2010

After I returned from my early trip to the USA in summer, children who got sponsors were very excited and happy for my return with the good news. Children in our community love school, for they know that hope to get a job and self sustenance is in their education. And yet education in our country is paid for at all levels and is expensive for poor children as is the case with our community.

We went a head and enrolled into school all the children who had been adapted through Kabale House of Hope. We bought for each of them shoes and a school uniform and when they new school term started, they went to school. I will never forget this precious child with tears running down her face, after she had seen another child from her neighborhood putting on school uniform and going to school. She run to her mother and asked her, “Mum, why can’t I put on school uniform and go to school like the child of our neighbor?” Her single mother started to cry because she knew that she cannot afford to pay tuition for her child to go to school.

This burdened my heart more and I prayed to God to give me another opportunity to travel and get more people to help our poor children especially to go to school. And sure enough, God provided funds for my ticket through friends like Jon and Yvonne Valasek. And on October 26th 2010 I boarded the plane back to the USA. Thank you Jon and Yvonne and all of you friends who supported me to help my dream come true!

And now more children including Christine, the girl who cried after seeing her friend putting on School uniform, got sponsors and have an opportunity to go to school next year.

We feel as the ministry God has called us to help these precious children go to school as we aim to transform our community and country.

As little as $35 a month, you can make a dramatic change in a life of a poor child, by giving him a bright future through education.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE WITH GOD!

I will never forget this story Barbara Nichols told me. Barbara who now supports a child through Kabale House of Hope is a friend of Anne Simmons another friend from Georgia. On this particular day Barbara went shopping in a certain store with her husband and grandchild. She is mother in-law to William, a Ugandan. After her shopping as she left the store she realized she had forgotten something behind. Going back she met Anne. They chatted about family and friends and Barbara suggested that Anne comes with her to say hello to her family. Then Anne told Barbara that, “by the way we have a friend from Uganda called Pastor Johnson and he is coming to visit with us, don’t you think William may love to meet him?” Barbara was excited and arrangements were made and I went to visit them. We shared about our orphanage and child sponsorship program, now she supports a child, her daughter also took up another child and one of their friends took up the third child!!! This is what Barbara had to say, “With God, there is nothing like coincidence!!” God is always behind the scene, connecting dots for his purposes and for his glory.

Thank you all our precious friends who signed up to support children through Kabale House of Hope.
