Just wanted to give a shout out to the DuncanFamily, the Hoover Family and the Petroro Family for changing the world for one child by giving them the opportunity to continue their education. This small act gives a child the chance to break the cycle of poverty that has ensnared their family. So, on behalf of Sharon, Allen and Christabella, we THANK YOU!
So many exciting things are happening with Mugisha Ministries! As I type this right now our first Uganda family is getting ready to land and be greeted by friends and family and introduce their new son. It doesn't get more exciting than that!
We also have a family in Rwanda right now that just finished up
all their paperwork and will be moving on to Nairobi this weekend to begin the visa process. Again....exciting times!
We are gearing up to host an appreciation event in November to all our donors, including our church family and families that sponsor children in Rwanda. I realize most sponsor families will not be able to attend due to the many miles between where you live and New Hampshire, but you will be getting an invitation anyway and we will be honoring you and praying for you that evening! =)
Then sometime this winter we will be having a very fun, fundraiser for the ministry and it is going to be a BLAST! More details to come soon on
this one!
We need to get this event planned soon because unfortunately this economy has hurt a lot of families and we have received several emails from donors that just cannot continue their support. I just can't stand the thought of these kiddos having to STOP going to school because their support has ceased. So I am doing everything in my power to raise funds to supplement the "holes" in the account until more donors can be found. I will re-post a few kids that are in danger of losing their ability to continue their education. If you could consider being a donor with a monthly commitment of $30 please let me know mugishamin@yahoo.com. Or if you can just give a one-time gift to help fill some of the gaps until we can find donors for these kids....you can do so by using the paypal "donate" button just under the logo at the top
of the blog. Thank you. Here is our list of kids needing a donor to continue their education.
