ACTIVITIES
What is new?....
In the month of July,
Cheryl Derby, our co-director of MMOCI and private supporter, arrived back from
the United States safely to Uganda to do volunteer work. And we give glory back
to God for this!
In the month of August we supported a new girl as part of
school fees. Salome studies in Senior One in Kikumbi Secondary School in
Mityana District. She was so happy to be helped.
Also in August we bought one trip of baked bricks to
initiate our poultry project in Soroti Uganda. These bricks will be used to
start building the poultry house. A lot still needs to be done like purchasing
more bricks, cement and to hire builders. But we thank God for the start of
this project and call upon all those who wish to donate towards this effort.
Also more children joined us in Bible study meetings that we
conduct on Saturdays. We give the glory back to God for this! The children are
eager to attend and learn!

1.BIBLE STUDIES
This organization continues to conduct Bible Studies at the
office in Kiyinda Estate. More and more children are continuing to come and
attend and also participate in reading and interpreting the Bible. We call upon
all volunteers who are willing to come and help reach out to the children to
please join with us.

2.EDUCATION ASSISTANCE
MMOCI has continued to provide education assistance to the
children both in Mityana and Soroti. One young man called Isaac, started his
second year at Busitema University. There are still so many more who need
sponsorship. We call upon all those who have the heart for the future of the
children to keep providing support. In partnership with www.brotherinchrist.com we have
provided for these children. We thank all those who are supporting us with educating
them. May God bless you all!

3.POULTRY PROJECT
MMOCI has started purchasing bricks for building a poultry
house. We are still under initial level and we call upon all those who can give
a hand in this project. We intend to have 1,250 layers eventually and will sell eggs to
establishments in Soroti. Each load of bricks costs $100 and we need 2 more
loads to start the first poultry house. A bricklayer will cost approx. $500
(including cement and supplies). Then the chickens will cost $1500 to purchase.
So in total we need $2200 yet to fully begin and then monthly wages of $180 after
that to employ 3 full time caretakers for this project. The project will
generate a monthly income of $5,400.
4.VOLUNTEERS
In the month of July to August we were joined by volunteers
who filled out Volunteer Forms to officially join us-one from the United States
and six from Uganda. One of the Ugandan volunteers called John Bosco Kalule
leads our weekly Bible Study class and translates English to Luganda for the
younger aged children.

MMOCI founders were able to visit the families of the some of the beneficiaries.
We visited Kikoyo David, a blind father, at his home where he has poultry and
piggery projects in place. He is the father of Mutebi David, one of the kids we
have supported since the beginning. We also visited Senkuse Henry, the father
of Kasemengo Crispus, also one of the kids supported since the start. Henry was
suffering from a swollen knee and not able to work temporarily. Also we visited
Akullo Sarah and her mother in their village in Soroti. They were all helped
and encouraged.
