Updates From Uganda

Church of Christ in Us Fellowship in Kagoma, Uganda with pastor Franklyn and Sarah Kazozi. Franklyn Kasozi is sharing Christ in love to the young ones and will drive them to having a deeper relationship with Christ. We have 50 to 60 members and growing and many are children.

Sewing machine H2H purchased for Uganda Heart to Heart Children’s Center. Those above 14 will learn how to sew. The women and children were very excited, they refused to leave if I did not take a picture of them with the new sewing machine. All the Kasozi gals are very interested. Heart to Heart Children’s Center will begin sewing classes on Saturday afternoons.

Sarah Kasozi is working with children from broken homes. She states, “Most children blame themselves. Early this year, I had a training in a primary school and almost half of the population of the pupils I spoke to came to me for counseling. I was surprised that all their concerns were connected to separated parents. The results are a lot of psychological/emotional pain. The children suffer so much, however parents also struggle to deal with the broken home, they burden the children with their separation.”

Sarah has also been busy with the Hip Hop and Hope event. She says “Its been an awesome moment today at Kawenpe during the Hip Hop and Hope event by Grow to Build.” Our Children have shared a platform with various artists which has shaped their future. It is a memorable event. The Heart to Heart children have enjoyed their visit, they have a story to tell about the Hip Hop and Hope event. Heart to Heart Initiative has been greatly blessed through this experience.”

Meet Michelle

Michelle Acheing is 3 year old. She has two brothers, Dazon 7 and Bryan 11.

Their father died after a long struggle with a sickness that was not diagnosed. It was thought to be HIV/AIDS but after the birth of Michelle, everyone said we will see about that young baby, but it was not so. Poverty could not allow the family to do postmortem to ascertain the cause of his death, yet medical tests were negative.

Please support Michelle as a God Parent for $60.00 per month to give her a better life.
