Look at who is in the Newspaper
The kids were all set to start school thanks to your support. Unfortunately, there is a teacher strike in Uganda. Hopefully the strike will end soon and the kids can get started. Bukedde, the Luganda language newspaper, interviewed a few of the parents and our in-country director, Brian Tuwereza, on their thoughts about the strike.
Please pray that the strike is over very soon!

Preparing for Labor Day
Today is Labor Day in the US. A day spent with family and friends, bar-b-q, homemade ice cream, and plenty of fun.
This weekend in Kamengo they were preparing for labor day, but a different kind of labor. In Uganda, women giving birth are required to bring their own birthing supplies with them. These supplies include plastic sheeting to give birth on, a razor blade to cut the umbilical cord, twine to tie the cord off with, soap to wash with, and other items for the new mom and baby. Most of the women in Uganda can't afford to buy these things. Thankfully through your donations we were able to provide 30 birthing kits to women in Kamengo.
We were also able to give a few kits to Mama Florence, the midwife in the village, to help out when women aren't able to provide their own kit.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers!!
We are still taking donations for school sponsorships. Help us send the kids of Kamengo to school!!!

Back to School!!
Those 3 words are powerful. They strike excitement/dread into every teacher's heart:) In Uganda, it is hope! Children in Uganda will choose school over almost anything. They know the power of education. It means a better job, a better life, a better future.
School hear in the US is just starting back. Parents have been buying new pencils, paper, glue, scissors, clothes, sneakers, and sometimes even laptops or tablets. Hundreds of dollars are spent just on clothing, sometimes 1 piece of clothing or pair of shoes.
School in Uganda is on break. But it starts back in a month. We want to take the next month and see how many children in Kamengo we can get back in school. Some of the kids have been able to go to school for a while, but have had to drop out because their parents can't pay the tuition or buy the uniforms. Most of them have never been able to go to school at all. The cost of tuition, uniform, shoes and supplies for a year of school is $100. Just $100, to educate a child in Kamengo for a year. A WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR!!!
We are looking for sponsors for some of the village children. For $100 you could change a child's future forever. When was the last time you could make that kind of impact for $100?
Who can resist this smile? We will send you a photo and information on the child you sponsor. We will give you updates as we get them.
If you would like to sponsor a child, you can send payment via paypal or mail a check to Olwazzi at the address at the right. If you would like to sponsor, but can't send $100 you can send $50 now and $50 in January. If you have any questions, please email us at olwazzi@yahoo.com.
