Greetings
from Uganda!
April 2, 2017
We hope you
are well and 2017 has been good so far. We are okay here in Africa though
drought has affected many of our friends and family. Most people here are
subsistence farmers and with crops dried out before harvest time, words like
‘food insecurity’ and ‘starvation’ dominate the news.
We are here
to help those we can and have been doing so since 2013. Even when someone comes
to our door hungry, we give from our own stock; usually fresh produce, rice,
beans, pasta, or some small money but these days the numbers are increasing. People
were already poor.
We have posted
a brochure about a fundraiser we are holding for the completion of our
income-generating project. We began this ministry project in 2013 and are close
to making it operational. We have saved and sacrificed to slowly get this far
but now due to the severity of the situation we are doing something we’ve never
done before……..asking for your assistance.
We know
times are tough for most right now. We have not made it our practice to ask for
anything and we are humbled completely when someone gives us a donation of any
amount. If you feel it on your heart to
help us, know that our goal for the ministry is to be self-sufficient and
quickly able to respond to the needs of as many as we can; here in Uganda and
one day around the world.
Thank you for
your time, interest and consideration. We offer an invitation to any of you to
come visit us in Uganda and have a fascinating experience!
Love, Cheryl
and Stephen
