Greetings to all the
members, supporters and board members,
This is MMOCI report for
the second quarter of the year 2015. In this report we have noted the
activities of the organization done within the period, the challenges and the
way forward.
What is new in this quarter?
We were able to apply
for the renewal of the NGO permit and the certificate was granted for us for
the next 36 months.
Our friend Mick
continued to invest in his money into the poultry house building.
We also received a donation
of $100 from Brian Derby Painting in New York for the poultry house.
Our new friend Charlene
also started contributing $25 every month towards the poultry house.
Another new friend
called Jill and her team started mobilizing support for the children in Uganda
by donating mainly clothing to them but also some food and other items.
ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE QUARTER:
Evangelizing children
MMOCI members have
continued evangelizing the children. Those within Mityana town now come
to the MMOCI office on the first Saturday of every month. These children participate
in reading the Bible, praising and dancing for the Lord and fun fellowship.
MMOCI in the month of May also reached to the nearby school to distribute
Gospel Tracts and shared with them the word of God.
Educational assistance
In partnership with Brother
in Christ ministry, we have continued to support the needy children with school
fees, food, uniforms and scholastic materials. MMOCI itself supports a few
children from Mityana and Soroti Districts with school fees and scholastic materials
also. (Top- David, Middle-Chrispus, Below-Paul-given fees, materials, uniforms
and food.)
Youth assistance
In this quarter, MMOCI,
through our partner Mick, supported a youth in Mityana with some funds to
invest in his music studio. Maxwell Kiggundu received close to $200 from Mick
for the support and promotion of his music studio. He was so excited to receive
such support and we thank Mick for having such a heart for the youth!
Poultry project
MMOCI has continued with
building the poultry house, Mick donated around 491 pounds for the poultry
building in the last quarter and we thank him for such a heart in making sure
that the house comes to completion. We also received $100 from Brian Derby
Painting for the building project. Charlene from the U.S. also offered to be
donating at least $25 every month towards the building efforts. MMOCI board
members in Uganda also donated $80 towards the building project. We do still
need around $1700 to roof the house, work on the floor, purchase materials like
doors and windows, and transportation of the items to the site far in the
village.
We do thank all those
who contributed, continue praying for us and mobilizing support for the
completion. The wall of the building is at the peak now and in waiting for the
Ring Beam to be laid before roofing starts. We are still waiting for the latest
photo from the village and it will be posted soon. Progress has been good!
We travelled to Soroti in
May 2015 to supervise the building of the house. The building was broken and
then expanded so as to accommodate the potential needed number of chickens. We
are hoping to travel again in September to supervise the building of the Ring Beam
if funds are mobilized.

in Soroti, Uganda)
Outreaches
We visited a school in
April and carried out evangelism and at the same time distributed Gospel Tracts.
We also paid visits to
some of the families that we provide support for; ones in Mityana and in Soroti.
Food and clothes were distributed.
In the month of June, we
recruited new volunteers from the U.K. into our organization. Jill is the new
volunteer and will be fundraising from her friends for scholastic materials,
gifts, fees and clothing for the children. Charlene is also a new member from
the U.S. and she, her husband and their friend Judy will be contributing $25
monthly towards the poultry project.
(Gifts sent to kids from
Jill in the U.K.!)
(Packages
of food and clothing received for children from U.K and a very happy recipient
family!)
THE FOLLOWING REMAIN THE CHALLENGES
Lack of enough funds to
run the organization
Limited space for MMOCI
activities. The house we rented is still small especially when we receive
children for Bible studies every first Saturday of the month.
Lack of transport
Expensive rental cost
Lack of sponsorship for
the children
WAY FORWARD
Mobilize more funds for
the poultry building
Keep networking
Enroll more volunteers
Special thanks go to www.brotherinchrist.com , Mick, Brian Derby Painting, Charlene, Jill
and all the members for their tireless support in moving the organization and
its objectives forward. May the almighty God reward you abundantly!
N.B. attached is the
three month financial report
God bless!
