A few weeks ago I told you about Joyce and her four grandchildren who were in some of the most impoverished circumstances we have seen. The children were abandoned by their parents and left with Joyce with no resources to get by. The children's clothes were in tatters. They had little food and their house was barely standing with no roof.

I'm so happy to let you know that our team member Aminsi and his wife Doreen welcomed their first child! Baby girl Arena entered the world in Kamuli, Uganda on June 29th.

In the first 6th months of this year, we have helped more children than ever before and that is all thanks to you!!

A question I often get asked is: “How do you decide who to help, and what projects to take on?” There is no doubt about it, each day in Uganda our team members are faced with children who have very challenging circumstances. Sickness, disability, malnourished, no shelter, barely clothed.
