Christmas Surprise Becomes a Reality- New Classrooms in Uganda

We are so excited to let you know that we have completed our first brand new classrooms for the Alpha Omega school located at Hope Children’s Home in Uganda! Because of those of you who supported the “Christmas Surprise” project, many children will now have a clean, well constructed classroom to learn in. The photos do not do justice to the size or the quality these buildings. They are truly beautiful and excellently done. Each one will accomodate up to 50 children. They are 600 square feet each and meet or exceed the requirements of the Ugandan government for a school to be registered in the country.

Children will now be able to attend class without worrying about torrential rainfall and mud pouring into their classrooms from the door opening. They will not have to huddle in a corner while rain pours through the roof.  They will be able to learn on cement floors. These are simple things for most of us, but to them, they have a luxury classroom now!

We were blessed to have Dr. Nsaba Buturo, our friend and Uganda’s Minister of Ethics and Integrity, join us and officially dedicate these new classrooms. Many people came from the village and rejoiced in the results of this project as you can see in the photograph below. Pastor Prossy shared that never in her wildest dreams did she believe that this place would be so nice and visited by a member of Parliament and the President’s cabinet. Dr. Buturo shared that he is fully supporting Show Mercy in Uganda because he believes that the work that we are doing is so vital to the people of Uganda.

You have been a part of changing lives.

Thanks again for making this project a reality. We still have a long ways to go, but we are making progress on providing our kids with a great educational opportunity in Uganda.

Now that we have a secure and clean classroom, we will be working to purchase text books for the children to share.  At this time, we have no text books. Pastor Prossy has given us her “wish list’ for textbooks for the kids. If you would like to be a part of providing these books, please feel free to make a tax deductible donation by clicking here. If each person receiving this email would even donate $10 for one book, we would be able to reach our goal. Will you help us continue to increase the provision for these children in Uganda?

Blessings and favor!
