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.

Ruth unable to post blog this week due to power cuts so dad posted above so don't blame her for amature look this week. Sorry things didn't seem to line up properly but think it's all legible never the less.
ReplyDeleteThanks father 😃
DeleteWhat an important but such a difficult job you are doing. Remember the star fish story from uni? If you look at the big picture it is despairing but if you hone in on the one thing you can do to touch one life it is empowering. Xxx
ReplyDeleteThe Father can and will do great things dear Ruth, with all that you offer to Him so freely. Xx
