Uganda Updates

-Edwin Angote is Lahash's Coordinator in East Africa. He sent us an update on his current travels to Uganda.

"We have just a day before we travel to Amazing Grace Orphanage in the Northern part of Uganda. It's been a week now since we got to Kampala. We are thankful that at least the city has calmed down after an unusual burst of mayhem that witnesses say has killed at least 10 people and left many injured.

The week has been extremely busy. We have been racing against time to ensure that we accomplish our goals and making sure that we were not caught in the mayhem. We have been working on different projects with our partners. They have shared their successes and the struggles they face every single day as they serve the vulnerable children here in Uganda.

Below are the Kampala children helping at preparing food for the rest of the family.

The past month the Lahash staff and friends were able to raise some money that was used to pay school fees for Saviors Home. They do have many struggles that they are facing such as lack of food, shoes, clothes, bedding, and sanitary pads for the girls. Thanks to all who contributed towards the school fees for the children.

Esther, the Director at Grace and Healing Ministry, is taking classes to receive a Bachelor of Community Health in Nursing at the Uganda Christian University. She was able to visit the Kampala home and spent time with Mama Susan and the children. Below is Esther with Susan Tabia and Susan's ailing mother. Please continue praying for Susan's mother that she will get better."
