I don’t have details to tell many of the children’s stories yet, but here is one. We met Michelle (12), O’Brian (10) and Moesha (5) last week when they showed up quite late in the afternoon and asked if they could have food. They were dressed in very ragged and dirty clothes, and looked like they came from a very poor situation, even for Musana. When we asked them where they had come from, they indicated that they live in a village quite a distance from our property. Someone had told them about our program, and they had spent much of the afternoon walking to get there. They noted that they are orphans who live with their grandmother, and only get one small meal per day, as she is very poor. While these children are technically outside the area we said we were going to serve, we simply could not turn them away after hearing their story, so they are part of our program now. While they were very reserved at first, Michelle, O’Brian and Moesha have warmed up and now fully participate in the games and activities.
Please pray for us and the children as we continue to expand the ministry, and develop relationships with each other.
