Thank you!

This is Laura, Field Program Director for Mercy Uganda.....I want to thank our sponsors for what you are doing in the lives of the precious children in Uganda! We have 30 children from 4 different schools sponsored. Nine of those children have recently come from one of the most impoverished areas of Uganda.....Karamoja. In the past 3 months we have had 3 different sponsors come forward to sponsor multiple children. A dear family in Georgia is sponsoring 3 children. A precious woman from Virginia, whom I have never met,but would love to, has recently begun sponsoring 4 children from Karamoja, bought a cow for a family, and is sponsoring our dear Lydia for nursing school at a Christian college in Kampala.....our newest sponsors are sponsoring the 2 young children of the pastor of the small and very poor church there.....the husband in this sponsorship duo, grew up as the child of a pastor, so was especially drawn to this little family. The pastor of the church in Karamoja had been given the opportunity of a stable position in a different place, but gave it all up to return to the place he had been able to leave as an orphan so many years ago. This couple was inspired by the cow purchase and are also buying 2 cows to help Karamoja....and helping replace the roofs of thatch homes recently destroyed by storms in the area......I could go on, but I am hoping and praying that these dear sponsors will share their stories in more detail for you.....I know you will be inspired and encouraged by each story. I can't wait to start reading your personal testimonies, and how God led you to this work!! God bless each one of you deeply!!
