A Word from Nathan

Nathan is getting married this summer in Uganda. Please keep him, and his bride, in your prayers.

Prayer Requests:

CHILDREN

*Please pray for our children's families and other community members to be able to go through the current food shortages that are being experienced throughout the country.

*We want to pray that sponsors for the non-sponsored children are found so that we will be able to extend our support evenly to all the children enrolled in the program.

ADMINISTRATION

*Better internet connection

*Replacement computer (Herman’s was damaged)

*New camera (the children trampled over the camera)

* Please continue to pray for the building project and for the "children's home." There are many children just within ABC that live on their own and need a home.

* Please pray for the several ABC children who are struggling in various situations that are detrimental to their well being.

An Update from Fondation Abana B'umwami, Rwanda

SPONSORSHIP

We had the remaining 30 children write letters to their sponsors for this term. We received letters from sponsors for 93 of the 186 sponsored children, and we had them translated and handed out to the children.

 

 

Some of the children received letters for the first time from their sponsors and they were all excited. Some of the letters included photographs from the children’s sponsors and the children were so glad to be able to see what their sponsors look like.

 

 

HEALTH

Most of the children are in good health.       

Eric Rwandanga is undergoing treatment for the leg muscle problems that he suffers with. The doctor has not been able to identify the real problem but he says that the child may finally have to undergo an operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sarah Uwimana has acquired a new pair of glasses after the old ones got broken. She is now able to continue with her studies after she briefly couldn’t attend before we helped her get them replaced.

 

We acquired a water tank that we have installed at the children's church to harvest the abundant rain water from the roof. The harvested water will serve as an alternative during the time when we can't get the piped water. This part of the city usually has water shortages that last for days. The water from the tank can therefore be an alternative during such times to serve both the church and the children every time when they come to church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDUCATION SUPPORT

30 children whose uniforms had become old and torn received new uniforms. We had given out uniforms for all the sponsored children at the beginning of Term 1 in January.

All the sponsored children's school fees have been paid for this term, Term 2. We also finished giving out all the school supplies for this school term.

 

     
 

If you're interested in getting involved with Abana B'umwami Children, please send an email to abc@calvarylahabra.org. You can sponsor a child for $30 a month, or more importantly, pray for the program and the children in it.
