Extending Grace to the Hungry
Donación protegida
My name is Olive and i come from Mucwini Kitgum district in Uganda. I have lived in the US for the last 15 years and each year me and my son travel to serve my community in Uganda.
I have been a child advocate for a nonprofit that works with local churches of which Uganda is one of those countries. Unfortunately, this program has not reached as far as my home district of Kitgum.
There are several challenges faced in Kitgum and one of them is better healthcare and food shortages.
This year, there has been a devastating period of drought that has crippled any crops from yielding harvest. It has led to widespread hunger in the region. Unfortunately those that suffer most are the children.
My friends Rex and Melinda Guynn have continued to work with these children in Kitgum district consistently. They have been able to plant a church in July 2015 and each week the number has increased. The children come hungry both spiritually and physically. They have struggled to feed the growing number of children that come each day and do not leave until the evening. I can relate to this because as a child who grow up in this area, the dry season was a period of extreme famine. My grandmother then would decide on the best time to eat the one meal available for that day. We would eat at around 3pm because that is when we were most hungry and it was close to bed time.
I am therefore humbly requesting for your financial contribution to help buy food for the children. Every dollar raised will be used to purchase food for the children including Christmas holiday that is coming up.
Thank you so much for continued support for those children that cannot fend for themselves.
No child should ever go to bed hungry.
Many Blessings
