Kampala Shelter
Our biggest news is, of course, our new CLASSROOM! I can’t begin to tell you what an amazing difference it has made in the boys’ attitudes and eagerness to learn. Three boys can be seated at each sit and write. (Our two youngest fellows go to kindergarten so do not attend the daily classes.) We also purchased wall charts and maps, many books, arts and crafts supplies, a globe and miscellaneous learning materials.
Morning classes include Bible study and reading and afternoon classes consist of math and geography or current events or history and different learning games to expand their understanding of various subjects. One day we discussed the solar system. Every child was surprised to learn that men had actually walked on the moon, and even more surprised to learn the first walk had been some 40 years ago!
Thank you to our special donor who made this possible.

March 2017 Shelter Report
March was a very busy and a very exciting month.This is definitely the best behaved and most loving group of boys we have ever assembled at one time! They all do their required chores without complaining and are eager to learn and participate in group activities. Many are very bright, but, as always, there are a few who struggle to complete the simplest directions.
We hired an Assistant Manager, Jeremiah. He has a teaching degree and is very knowledgeable. He’s an excellent teacher and seems to be very loving and caring with the boys.
We took all 10 newest residents for medical exams. Andrew received treatment for typhoid and James had to have a molar extracted. Unfortunately little Jonah (approximately age 10) was found to be HIV+. We received daily medications for him which made him seriously weak and dizzy. We cannot say why, but he ran away and did not take his medications with him. We have tried to locate him, but he is not to be found. Tibu was treated for malaria.
