Two New Boys

We welcome 2 new boys, Daniel age 7 and Emanuel age 9. They were brought into the program this past weekend. Both boys are so happy to be off the streets and knowing they will be heading to school next year. Fred said that their situation on the streets were dire and he felt lead to bring them in. We praise God for this gift and for providing as He always does.

Disabled Street Kids

Fred has been meeting with some of the disabled street children in Lira. Jimmy is an 28 year old that was abandon since childhood. Fred said Jimmy is an amazing person considering all he has been through. Jimmy gets up early to beg for money on the street corners and then wheels himself to school returning in the evening to the street corner. Jimmy said he has had many visions of God and knows God has a plan for his life. Jimmy is crippled by polio and can barely use his hand at this point. Dick was the boy we met on the streets when we were there visiting last summer. He was always smiling. Fred is getting to know Dick better to learn what his needs are and how we can help. Dick has been on the streets at least 2 1/2 years. But I have a feeling it has been much longer.

AIDS CLASS

15 street boys came to Uncle Fred's House for a 2 day class on AIDS and related issues. They will all be taken to the clinic next week to check on their status. 48 children showed up to be feed and cared for this weekend. And our boys and girls are headed back to class for their final exams. They all received new uniforms and shoes. This is are way of helping to build confidence and self esteem during their last semester.
