Wells of Hope Christmas time Special Update

On the 25th December 2009(Christmas day) we reached out to Beatrice who is grandmother and caretaker of two boys Andrew and Edmund, their father is in Prison and living with HIV/AIDS, Edmund is also living with HIV. Their mother past away.
On this day we failed to reach their house, because their house was flooded, instead we sent a message that they find us across the waters. They had to wade through the heavy pool of waters almost falling in; the deepest end was covering above the knees.
This did not hinder them from being happy; we had taken them Christmas gifts and money for upkeep and medical care a donation from one of our friends-Dana Scott.Beatrice has been sick for the last two weeks, yet she has to look after these little boys.
The father of these little boys is in Prison and living with HIV/AIDS. Edmund is also living with HIV/AIDS. I am happy that the Lord continues to use us. Follow this link to see the photos http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32271&id=1612269332&l=3a7ce87c09

On the 24th December 2009, we visited Jinja Main prison and we were able to have prayers with inmates on death row 9 of them being women. We donated 150KGS soya posho to the HIV/AIDS sick inmates among other gifts. We visited with a team from Watoto 360 lead by Jesse Ntaborwa and Linda Duncalfe, they provided the transport and also were a great encouragement to the Prisoners especially on this day. One of the Prisoners said that the relatives had abandoned them and on such a day we had made a big sacrifice and showed them love and that they were touched by this visit.

On the 23rd December 2009, we hosted 17 children of prisoners to a Christmas party, we had almost given up but God provided for these little ones. One of my friends Ronald Kaweesa I studied with at King’s College Budo together with his wife Esther and sister in law Patricia donated the gifts. They attended in person together with their own children and blessed the children whose parents are in prison. We also gave three care takers cash gifts to buy food at Christmas time. The children's choir presented special songs with the help of Rachel one of our volunteers. Follow this link to see the photos

Meanwhile, on the same day 23rd December 27, 2009, we signed an agreement and paid rent for six months for premises where we are going to conduct the school, however, we still need friends to stand with us as we establish the first school for Children of prisoners on this land possibly even the first on the African continent .One of our friends Joan will be donating 20 basins for the children. Our website has details of the school needs.
