All attend Rubaya Secondary school where Loyce teaches History and Geography. Emmy is a subsistence farmer. He and his brother share 10 acres where they plant food that they can eat.
The family of Michael (church of Uganda Priest) and Patience (MSW with Compassion International) that live in the western border town of Kabale: They have three of their own children + currently 3 foster children – Pheonah – a hotel management intern; Bridget who will start Secondary School in January and Kasheija who will be promoted to P-6 with his sister, Shalome.

Nixon is our current sewing instructor. His class this year has grown to 18 students. We sent him to classes several years ago in Kabale to be our new instructor. We have been very happy with the progress that he has made in attracting new students.
Both class room instructions are offered at no cost to the students. They meet five days a week from 9 AM to 4 PM. All of the student walk to class.
Our third program is Church Building in and around the area of Kimillili, Kenya:
· This year we built one more church (our 5th) in the area around Mt. Elgon, Eastern Kenya with the assistance of Pastor Mark Ndinyo in 2015.
· Mark and his family moved to Woodstock, GA this past August so he can go to seminary to receive his Masters in Divinity here in the US.
We, the board of directors wish to thank all of our faithful donors for their continued financial support and remembered prayers.

"For God is the one who gives seed to the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will give you many opportunities to do good, and he will produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched so that you can give even more generously. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will break out in thanksgiving to God." 2 Corinthians 9: 10-11
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
