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.

5.OUTREACHES
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.
