Feeding Program Back Up

Back in January the local government stopped us from feeding the street children. They stated that the street children would be removed from the streets by March. Many of the children had been removed by local police using force. One boy had his arm broken and was taken to the hospital by Fred. As of today there are still many street children as young as five living on the streets of Lira. So Fred contacted us saying they were starting the street children's feeding program this past weekend. Pastor John Eckley from South Carolina has been working with Fred for the past month and felt God calling him to minister to the street children. Sunday they brought 25 children in and fed them. Our nurse tended to the sick ones as John ministered to the rest. The children also received HIV/AIDS prevention training. All the children got the chance to bathe and wash their clothes. Fred said that the children left feeling hopeful and refreshed. There is a new girl on the streets along with a few new little ones.
