Believe it or not, but these two are twins! (left Babiriye, right Nakato)

Nakato has been in the home since beginning of 2003 and Babiriye since end of 2005, 3 years less! Good feeding seems to make a great difference in the growth of a child.

Sunday's football match against Besaniya Boys (another children's home) was again successful. Our team (CMU and Chain boys together) won 1:0!

Even the youngest had their own fun during the match.

Some of our Secondary School students in their school uniforms. Smart Guys!

Sunday afternoon matches (football and netball) agains Chain kids (neighboring children's home) were very successful for CMU kids since they won both of them. Congratulations to our children!

John, a former volunteer with CMU Children's Home had his wedding last Saturday. Francis happened to be the "Bestman" (witness).

Last week the primary school where our kids go to, opened some new classrooms, and our kids participated in entertaining the guests. We have some pretty good "dancers" among them...

Lunchbreak

The Primary School kids usually come home for their lunch and then go back to school till late afternoon. Posho and beans is their staple food.

Home for the Orphans

This building is suppossed to accommodate 80 to 100 orphans once it is done. Due to financial constraint it has taken over 3 years. We would like to roof and finish the building as soon as possible to create more room for this dear kids. Who would like to help us finance the building? If you feel touched and would like to get more information, please contact us on cmumission@hotmail.com

Kids in School Uniforms

We are in third term and O-Level students have started their exams this week. Please pray for them to get good results which will help them for their further studies.

Letter to my sponsor. Will I receive one, too?

Victor and Victor - two great buddies :-)

Second school term is finished and the kids are home for holidays. Time for farming, compound cleaning, Bible study and of course fun time and games. The third and last school term for this academic year will start middle of September. Most of the kids have quite good reports and are doing well in class.

"Baganda Women"

At the introduction ceremony of our administrator. On such a function it is a must to put on a gomesi (Baganda women traditional wear).

Some Dangers around...

It was brought by the dogs when it was already dead.

Martyrs Day

Today, many Christians have travelled, some even on foot, to Namugongo to celebrate Martyrs Day. Every year on 3rd June we remember 26 young Christians who were killed in 1886 because of their faith. They had become a thread to the King and did not follow his orders for evil practices.

.... and harvesting

Avocados and bananas ready for harvest....

Time for Planting.....

Currently food prices all over the world have shot up including Uganda. We have put much effort in planting our own food supplies, ie. maize, beans, sweet potatoes in order to survive this current food crisis. The weather here is quite good and favorable for these crops. We pray for a good harvest.

Time for Holidays

Every holiday the kids are going to the villages to visit their relatives. Usually they are very excited to go. It is important for the kids to keep in touch with their extended families, because those families remain their "home". The local government discourages the idea of keeping children in children's homes without any contact to relatives. It would make it difficult for the children to resettle after their time with us.

Happy Holidays!

Christmas in April

Recently our kids got shoe boxes donated by another children's home. This was great joy and excitment as it came unexpectedly. It just felt like Christmas..... :-)

Child Sponsorship

CMU Children's Home is run through individual sponsorship for the children. Each child is suppossed to have 1 sponsor who pays 35 $, 30 Euros, 60.000 UGX (or more) per month.

17 of our children have not yet got permanent sponsors! If anyone is interested in helping such a child, please contact us on cmumission@hotmail.com

We are very grateful for the 41 sponsors who have committed themselves over the years to help these children get a much brighter future. God bless you all!

May we introduce ourselves: Gerald, Zephania, Rose, Justus, Monica, Carol, Denis, Deogracious, Nicolas, Moses.......
it would occupy too much space to mention all our names. But we love our home called CMU and all the uncles and aunties who are taking care of us plus mummy and daddy. They will introduce themselves later....
The youngest kid will join baby class next year, otherwise we are in all classes, from 1 to 7 primary level and from 1 to 6 secondary level. One of us is already doing a vocational training in mechanics first year.
This week we are writing our exams for term one. Pray for us!
