Sorry for not posting in a while. We have been very busy here at Mugisha Ministries. While we continue to assist families with independent adoptions in Rwanda, we have also expanded our adoption services to Uganda and our first family is scheduled to appear for court in Uganda on September 1!
My last post was all about our first fundraiser for the educational sponsorship program in Rwanda that we were getting ready to oversee. Well, things are under way and we are now able to connect the fortunate with the less fortunate.
We have some immediate needs to make you aware of. Let me re-phrase that .....we don't just have “needs”; we have some CHILDREN that need your help. These children were being sponsored for years and due to the economy, their sponsors have informed us that they can no longer support these children. These are kids that are already used to going to school with their friends and now they are in jeopardy of being told that they may not continue with their schooling due to lack of sponsorship.
Allow me to introduce these precious ones to you:

If you think that you have room in your budget or could sacrifice a dollar a day to help these kids continue their education, please email mugishamin@yahoo.com. We would be glad to get you connected with one of these 6 children. There are many more in need, but we are considering these 6 our top priority since they have already been going to school for years now and we would hate for their schooling to be interrupted. $30 per month can bring hope to the life of these children.
