Voice of the Orphans

His name is Baluku Robert. I met him 3 years ago through Global Missions. He was a sincere young man who wanted to finish high school. His father was killed when a rival tribal group raided his village. His mother was raising five children alone and they survived in a squalid, one room living area. No money, no food, and little hope.
Later God provided me with some unexpected money that paid for a little garden spot. That gift was meant for Robert's mother and siblings. I encouraged him to share any gleanings from the garden with other poor. He and his mother gladly did, but it has never been enough. Seasons come and go, often without anything edible growing.
Robert began to notice the many street children with nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat except what they scavaed at the dump. He met other widows like his own mother. He dreamed of starting a school/orphanage so they woud have a future better than his own.
As a retired school Christian school administrator and former foster mother of 12, I encouraged him in his dream of a school and real orphanage.
Robert matched the widows he knew with the orphaned children. Unfortunately, there was little food to feed the first dozen children. As word spread, more and hungry, desperate orphans came to Kasese looking for this pied piper named Robert.
A few weeks ago, a single mother died from a rabies bite. Her three-month-old son was left with him. There were no relatives able to care for him.
Baluku Robert took the baby in. None of the villagers expected the boy to live. His pot-belly stomach belied his serious nutrition deficiency. In spite of their warnings, Robert is trying to nurture the boy we call Little Luke.
Robert now has 58 orphans and several widows who are fostering many of the children. The reality is that the widows have no way to pay for their own humble dwellings or enough food to feed their own children.
Robert has never lost faith that God would provide for these precious, homeless children. There are no jobs for him or others in or near Kasese, Uganda. Robert is dependent on my trying to find contributions to this worthy cause. Go Fund Me is a new hope.
You can read more about this ministry at voiceoftheorphans.org . I will be up-dating it soon, but as a stable, yet stage-4 cancer patient, my resources, including money and time, are limited.
Can you PLEASE help? The Bible speaks of special blessings for those who help widows and children.
James 1:27- Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
I am asking the Lord for 10,000 blessings.
