Ten local churches in Lira are sending their youth Pastors to Uncle Fred's House to learn how to minister to street children. The SGU advisory board has been involved in reaching out to the local churches to get more involved. This past Saturday several youth Pastors came to the street kids feeding to teach, sing and minister lots of love. All the kids are getting real excited about the soccer camp.
The boys at Uncle Fred's House have enjoyed caring for the 10 little piglets they recently purchased.
The older boys did a wonderful job building the small shelter that the pigs stay in out at the property. This project gives the boys the opportunity to learn husbandry. Our goal is that all the children will learn these very important life skills for when they return to their own land one day.
It was exciting to hear that Fredrick, one of the first boys we took in is getting the land that his Father had left him. Fredrick's uncle had kept that information from him along with the money he was receiving from rent. The land has two buildings on it that are being rented out. Fred and a official was able to get the uncle to sign over the deed and set up a bank account for the rent money to go into. Now Fredrick will be able to pay for his own schooling and once he graduates will have a home and a
income to count on.
With Fredrick's outstanding grades we are all hoping he will go on to a higher education.
