Sunshine and showers

Just now is rainy season in Uganda....the days have been filled with sunshine and showers, physically and figuratively.

Sunshine....

My first session of trauma healing went well....please pray it would touch the children's lives in a small way.

My wonderful sponsor boy Lwanga has been helping me out so much... particularly in the slums. He is remarkable....the compassion he shows to others is admirable. Pray he is enrolled in school quickly.

Lukia....one of the p3 daycare girls....upon seeing me said, 'Aunty Ruth, you were the one to buy us mosquito nets last time'.  She thanked me and assured me she was still using it. A little encouragement!

Showers.....

So many sick kids already and trips to clinics and dentists; rotten teeth, pneumonia, typhoid, malaria, bacterial infections, fungal infections, coughs, flu etc....and bilharzia for me!

The kids in the slums....my heart breaks for them. Yesterday my sponsor boy and I found Ramathan....he had just been released from prison, spending six nights there for allegedly stealing. We found him shoeless, hungry and clutching his bottle of 'glue'. We went and bought him some food and water and prayed for him....but it seems so little. These kids need so much more....they need massive breakthrough in their lives. Please pray for them.

As ever, thanks for your love and prayers.
Love Ruth xxxx
