Supporting or Adopting a Child's childhood needs
This is a growing list of children I've either made connections with in my time in Uganda, or have been brought in & given parental or guardian support by my colleague, Pastor Amos; his income is incredibly humble though, so he seeks assistance.
Meet Babiyre (BuH-beed-yea!)I met her when I was spending time getting to know the kids in the apartment accross from me at the start of my 9 months in Uganda; she didn't attend school & turned out to be working at age 16, and had for 3 years been a house servant. This is child labor (she did not keep her earnings, they went to her parents). I helped her into a boarding school with an amazing community/leader (yet cost-effective). She loves the Bible, is sincere, is quiet, and loves to play netball & is uncannily grateful to be in school. She needs a consistent supporter, as I can no longer afford to (but I'm trying!). - Jamie

Children needing school fees
Children who need help to fund some/all of their school fees, Term III:
Godfrey Mucuguzi
Age: 9 years old
Grade: 1st grade
*Unfortunately spent 3 years out of school
But the kid's got charachter (from what I can tell, ha ha) so he might make it ok out of school. But in a touch place like Uganda, an education means a lot.
ABout: He's living with AMos the pastor the humble guy right now.
WHy? Amos is crazy kind & self-less, if I may say
SUpport for Godfrey:
School fees are 105,000 UGX every 4 months. If someone could commit to seeing them paid (it's about $42 every 4 months or ~$11 a month) that'd be super-cool.
To Give, SEE GIVING (at top) AMos will take care of 'the rest'!

Kenneth Ssemalume
Age: 8, Current Grade: 3
Location: Kampala, UGANDA
-Kenneth is a sweet little boy, whose mother took him & his sister to town one day and left them there. Their dad was unable to care for them, so Amos & Dora- newly wed this past year, although poor/struggling financially, took him under their wing without hesitation or complaint.
-he's awesome- see more pictures here. He's really quiet though. I wish I had more money to send him things.. I digress.
He is loved.
Hopefully he can be assisted- and if you feel led to help this young trooper, know that ANY amount DOES help his situation, so feel NOT obliged to give exactly.
Needs: School fees/supplies
Cost: 156,000 (63$) SEE GIVING (at top)

Sylvia Tumusiime
(pic is old) Age: 16, Grade: Secondary 2 (=Gr 10)
Under the care of statement)
She is an AIDS orphan, living only with her grandmother. Ha ha, whom I'm told is very old.
WIth no social assistance in the country, this girl is in a tough spot if she wants to go to school. The modest fees are paid by Amos whenever he gets any spare money. (This guy is so generous).
He's adopted the responsibility, a flame of love for someone he could ignore I had that passed to me ..and I pass that flame onto you.
Her needs: support - of modest food allowance (during rising prices) and school fees so she can finish her education
Cost: 78,000 shillings ($31)

Faithful (Thomas)
Age: 13, Current Grade: Senior 1 (aka Gr 9)
Location: Kampala, UGANDA
Tom is the oldest son in a large, rural family. Because there was no money to pay for his school, to transition from P8 to high school, he went alone to the big (2.2 mil) city of Kampala to sell sundries. I came to know him through a mutual friend in Shaban (story here)
Tom barely made it into school by the time it began, and couldn't afford supplies or a uniform, which we helped him with. It doesn't matter though, because despite his hard times his faith is impeccable. He was such a blessing to me. He's genuine, and of simple faith.
So it's my goal to support him immediately with 50,000 shillings ($20) than it would mean a lot to alleviate him right now [he's lacking supplies again this semester] SEE GIVING to HELP TOM With anything you can spare, any amount is welcome to help him out.
