Fundraising Update: New Milestones reached!

So after the two recent events, Ollie’s Half Marathon and Steve and friends Isle of Wight Bike Ride, over £661.66 has been raised, with more still coming in! We also have £944.44 saved up meaning we are only £593.90 short of the £2200 Solar Panels Project. We are also being blessed by receiving a gift from the ‘Jazzy Charity Ball’ hosted by the Southampton University Christian Union being held on Thursday 9^th May.

We have also had confirmation of the purchasing of 5 bunk beds and the glass, silicon and labour to complete all the windows in both buildings!

Children from Community

We have now also crossed a large milestone of raising £5000 since July 2012 so we meet the criteria to become an official UK Registered Charity, and the process has begun! This will further add to the integrity of our work in the UK and Uganda and help us to raise money more easily through Gift Aid and Just Giving pages.

Children outside Home

We also had communications with our partners through Pastor Macho in Uganda this morning. As part of the money we last sent out it funded another community day on Saturday 4^th May. 16 goats were purchased to help generate income for the children and families and begin education in farming. Also soap and mosquito nets have been purchased and handed out in the community, much to the joy of many of the children. Lastly children were given toys and cloth to enjoy.

The new goats!

Cheers!

The photos give me so much joy to look at. The simplest gifts but with profound effect. This keeps me motivated to think less of myself and more of our friends in Uganda. I thank God for what I have in light of this and pray that these children will experience a more fuller life, not in material things but in joy and love.
