CMU children got their holidays

All the children have got their holiday and most of them have improved on their performance compared to their last terms performance. They are happy to be home again.

This time is good for the staff and the children. Many activities are going on such as counseling, gardening, cookery, music and drama, watching and many more others. All these activities have kept our children busy and enables them to learn more. The holiday has also helped us, the staff to find out how the children behave and discipline those with bad behaviours. Children have got more time to read the Bible and fellowship together as a family. This holiday most of the children are disciplined, we hope and pray that they will keep it up.

These are our new children

This are our new children: 13 boys and 1 girl! The girls dorm is completely full, therefore we couldn't take in more girls.

We hope and pray that the new building can get ready soon, in order to have more room for girls as well.

One of our Children got an Accident

It was on Tuesday morning when Martin was going to school and he was knocked by a lorry.
Martin saw the lorry coming to knock him, he jumped off his bicycle fell into the bush but the lorry rolled off the road and found him where he was lying. He got a serious deep wound on his buttocks on which grafting had to be done to cover the wound. He also got small wounds on the head and on one leg. Other children had to bring him back home and the director rushed him to International Hospital Kampala, where he got treatment from. He was checked and it was found out that he only had wounds and the bones are okay. His bicycle was also damaged, most especially the front part. Martin cannot sit, though he can walk for a short distance. We pray that he will get well soon and begin schooling again.
We thank God for his hand of protection upon us and our children.
Thanks to every one who prays for us, God answers our prayer. Continue praying for us as we pray for you.

WE WISH YOU SUCCESS OUR CANDIDATES

Six of our children are in candidate classes and we pray that they will make it successfully through these levels of education. Benjamin, who is in form four has already begun his exams and he is to finish next week. Other children like Mercy, Olivia, Eliezer, Constance and Catherine are sitting their examinations for primary seven on 2nd and 3rd November. We are praying for the best grades because the success of our children is our pride. Thanks a lot for your support and prayers. God bless you.

Children's Medical Screening

Last week almost all the children were screened for different sicknesses, including HIV/AIDS, skin diseases, eyes, teeth and many other diseases. Five of the children have eye problems and they were given eye glasses, one has HIV/AIDS, while Malaria had the biggest number. All that were found with problems are getting treatment and we believe they will get fine.

We are Blessed with more Children

We thank God for we are growing day by day. The number of our children has increased by 7 and we thank God that he has enabled us to care for more children. It is always our desire to see more children reached by CMU and God is really answering our prayers.
Each child has a different story that is unique and so touching. Of all 7 children, only 2 were staying with their close relatives but the rest have been staying with distant relatives or well wishers. CMU is working hard to make sure that each one finds at least a close relative. On this same matter, the director went to the biggest prison with a lawyer and visited the father to Kasirye, one of the new boys. He was happy to know that his son got people to care for him after 2 years since he was imprisoned. The director and the lawyer are processing means in which Lugolobi will be bailed or be released by courts of law. Thanks to the director for such a heart and thanks to our sponsors for enabling us to do great work. Stay blessed!

SAD NEWS!

After rejoicing the birth of twin calves, their mother could not live to see them grow into cows. Our lovely cow died after one week of delivering twins and it was found out that it was killed by a polythene bag and metals that it ate. We feel much pain for the loss of our cow. However we thank God for the twins who are still alive and good looking. We pray that they will live and remain our pride in our farm.
