UGANDA MISSION - POST #2

Yesterday, Ann and Mary visited Maria and Olivia and their siblings - do you remember them? 

Oh the joy! Ann said their house is so tidy and neat, and their land is well taken care of. She confirmed that they are the most amazing children, surviving and living and being parents to their siblings, especially when they themselves are children. They take so much pride in their siblings and are very protective. They are so grateful for everything OHFO supporters have done for them in the past several years. They have been cooking on an open flame on the floor and need a working stove, so we'll be meeting that need right away. 

Maria and Olivia would like to go to beauty school so they can learn a trade and have a better income to support their family - we will support them in that dream. 

Little Leo fell in love with Mary! Ann said he is the most adorable and sweet child. 

Ann gave the girls OHFO necklaces, which they love - perfect for those beautiful souls and their open hearts! They also received lanterns.

Ann and Mary then visited another village and met baby Praise, a one-month-old who was removed from mom because she tried to hurt him. 

We are supporting his foster placement, and he is doing well and gaining weight. Joseph, nine years old, joined his foster mom very recently, and she wishes to adopt him! His health is good and he seems to be adjusting very well with his foster family and children in the village. Joseph requested a bike, and we will make that happen!

Ann and Mary visited another village, where they met Emma, whom we provided heart and eye surgery for in 2022. 

She lives with her grandparents and siblings. We are happy to report that Emma's health is good!

In Ann's words, "It was another day filled with hope and a brighter future for these children. It is so beautiful to see so much love in these women's hearts for the children they are fostering."

Hope Lives Here - thank you so much for following the journey!
