Greetings to all of our friends, partners,
volunteers and board members in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Below are the activities carried out in the
last four months.
ACTIVITIES
EVANGELISM:
·
In
the month of May 2018 we ministered to the youth in Mityana Pentecostal Church
in the Compassion International program. The majority of the youth were between
14-22 years of age. The message to them was about decision-making and planning
in their own future.
·
In
the month of August Many Mansion’s team and volunteers also delivered a word of
encouragement to disabled families and their children in Bulera Sub-county in
Mityana District the same message was also aired through Mbona FM and Sun FM
radio stations located in Mityana Town Council.

EDUCATION:
·
MMOCI
has continued to support children with school fees and scholastic materials;
Three students in secondary schools and 7 in primary level.
·
School
fees money has always come from our donors in the U.K., U.S., local individuals
and from the Poultry Project profits.
·
In
the month of July, we loaned about 180 reading books to Watoto Primary School
in Mityana Town Council. These books are on loan until the end of this last term
then beginning next year will be loaned
to another school for a term then another and so on so many students will benefit
from them.

POULTRY PROJECT:
·
In the month of June we
were able to identify the market for chickens in Kampala and sold off all of
them. The project is currently at a stand-still while we identify other risk
factors before we get back to business. Part of the profits from the chickens was
used to clear school fees and some of the money saved for another round of
business which is most likely to restart in January 2019.

In the month of May clothes
were given out to the needy at Mityana Pentecostal Church and about 50 people
benefitted from the give-away.
