Four More Precious Children Need YOUR Sponsorship

Today we have four beautiful children that need sponsors to help them by providing food, blankets, pillows, and clothes.  The things we take for granted when we curl up under our comfy blankets and lie our heads on our fluffy pillows, or our full stomachs from 3 meals a day...snacks, and drinks not included.  Now whether or not we choose to eat that many meals in a day or not, or where we choose to lie our heads is up to us.  However, for the most part, we get those choices EVERY day that we get up and start a new day. These little ones don't get these choices.  They go to bed on dirt floors, many with not even a piece of foam to sleep on, and no blankets or pillows to wrap up in and lay their weary heads.  They may also go to bed with stomachs growling so loud that it can be heard from everyone in the room.  It's truly as possible to help even one of these children, with just $30 a month.  And it is even tax deductible!  Something to think about with the winding down of this 2017 year.

Our Two Special Children of Week 1

We thought we would put an idea out there, and this would be that we would put 2 orphans a week on this blog, and if you are interested in one of them, then you can donate to help a specific child, then $30 a month would change this child's life by providing food and clothes for an entire month.  Just write down your child's name, and we will will announce you as the new sponsor (if you are okay with that), and we will let the the child know of this wonderful opportunity and that they can look forward to having food each month, or you are free to send more or less, or send clothes, toys, or whatever you desire.  😊

Where Would You Go If You Could Go Anywhere You Wanted

I have been homeschooling for going on 26 years now this coming school year.  I have always wanted to go out of the country somewhere, but to be honest, embarrassingly, after a bad experience as a child at about the age of 7, on a friend’s small plane; I have been truly terrified to fly anywhere, on any plane, especially across the world!!  This was until October or November of last year, 2016.  I got into contact with my sister in Africa again.  We had moved and lost connection with each other for a while, after changing cable companies and so forth.   Then we connected again, and picked up our relationship as though it had been just yesterday.  Then suddenly, God started putting on my heart that I should go there to spend time with them, and the Holy Spirit kept prompting and prompting me to go.  However, I kept hearing in the back of my mind that song by Scott Wesley Brown that says, “Please don’t send me to Africa, I don’t think I’ve got what it takes.  Please don’t send me to Africa where there’s lions, gorillas and snakes…”   But the more I heard the Holy Spirit, the more I relaxed and became at ease with the idea of flying.  My family and friends thought that I was crazy, that “Mom (Kelly) will never fly anywhere!!  Just wait and see!”  I won’t lie to you and say that I didn’t debate turning around at the gate at the airport and deciding not to go, but I prayed continually for the “peace that passes all understanding” that only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit can give, and I stepped into the gate and down the ramp.  I found my seat, and began to pray and relax.  The initial takeoff and landing of the plane did make me somewhat apprehensive at first, but I got used to it after five flights to get there and six flights home.

However, after raising 9 children, only having two in the nest still, ages 13 & 16, & our 6-year-old granddaughter, who we have had guardianship of since her birth, I felt that things would run smoothly with an older son here in town, and an older daughter 15 minutes away, and of course their dad is at work during the days and home every evening, that God had opened this door for me.  I knew that I had to follow what the Holy Spirit was telling ME, and go half way across the world to Uganda, East Africa, and help with the orphanage and school in their village there.  What an AWESOME experience!!  I got to see what life is like in a 3^rd world country.  The poverty, hunger, lack of clothing, lack of being allowed schooling as the government public schools cost so much a month, that once in high school, they cannot afford to go to school because it’s a choice of starvation or school.  Yet, they have unconditional love for one another, and for extended family, and amazingly well behaved obedient children, and great love of Christ!  I can honestly say, I can’t wait to go back next summer!!

Burned Bricks and a Hearty Garden Thanks to the Rainy Season

Picking Passion Fruits from the garden 

behind their house, but in front of where the 

orphanage will be.

My first look at the garden  They try so hard to
provide for themselves.

  

The Passion Fruit and even the seeds
are so good!

More vegetables growing in the gardens.

                                            Robert showed me the pile of burnt bricks ready
                                            to be used.  See the holes under the pile?  And
                                            there is hay on then very top.  These are the places
                                            the fire if started to burn the bricks.

More green vegetables, growing extremely well due

to all the rains!!

The Importance of An Orphanage To House Our Orphans - Part 2

  

Robert, NTonio, & I took a tour the area where they will build the orphanage and between the back if the house and the orphanage site.  In-between the house and site is their larger garden

area with delicious Passion Fruit (that is soooooo tasty), and other green vegetables that they are growing and are training other villages to grow to help with healthier eating choices.

The Importance of An Orphanage To House Our Orphans - Part 1

I cannot tell you the importance of the need for an orphanage to house our orphans who are now spread from home to home around our village.  One here, two there...not enough food for their own families, let alone extras, but thank God some loving people have agreed to put roofs over their heads, and an indoor place to lie their weary heads at nights.  

Robert showing me the end of the bricks

that are fully built and ready to be 

burned to keep hardened.

Do you know how much work goes into building an orphanage? Especially when you have to literally build (make it by hand) each brick, one by one?  And then consider building 50,000 of them.  They have completed almost 10,000 bricks, but only two men working on our project, as we can only afford to pay these two men at this time.  So I can say that I have personally been to the building site of the orphanage, and have seen how the process is done.  It is so hard to know that they work out in the heat, long days, long hours, and can only be paid so little.  And as coming from the US myself (Kelly), and knowing the difference between Uganda Schillings and US Dollars now, the cost of building this orphanage, I have calculated, it is $17,000.00 US dollars.  In shillings, it looks like three times more!!  But I cannot see how it is unrealistic to pray that if one, or even a few bigger companies, could pull together to pay for this as a tax right off, as it is a non-profit 501 (c)(3).  What a blessing this could be, not only to a group of children in desperate need, but a benefit to those when it comes to tax time.  😊      

Robert has taken me to see where

the bricks are being made, and

where the orphanage will be. 

A row of almost 10,000 bricks.

A fresh layer of handmade bricks

built that day. They will then be

covered with straw to dry.
