Kasana Children’s Centre is a lot quieter today. Yesterday, most of the children who live with us full-time left Kasana yesterday to visit with relatives. The next few weeks are important time for our children to connect with an aunt or an uncle or Jaja (grandparent) or a cousin or a sibling. These relatives are unable to care for the children on a regular basis but they still can play an important part in their lives. We would appreciate your prayers for this time.
We would also appreciate your prayers and thoughtful consideration of New Hope Uganda as the year draws to a close. We have significant needs in our general budget and a large percentage of our budget usually comes in December. If you are interested in contributing to our general fund (operating fund), click here and put “general fund”or “where most needed” in the comment box.
We also have a list of specific needs. Today, we will focus on the Kasana Children’s Centre list. If you connect with one of the below needs, please click here and put that need in the comment box.
God bless you!
