Anyone interested can PM me, anyone in or near Soroti, Eastern Region, Uganda is welcome to check it out for themselves. So far, we've been going it alone, and have no other donors.

We've got copies of all the deeds, permitting, architecture drawings and all the receipts from property to construction.

Here is this weeks update, next funding for the roofing and labor will need to be sent.

We are almost getting done with the Ring Beam by the evening of tomorrow 19th December 2014. The building project continues thereafter.. There will be only a two-day Christmas break then the roofing work resumes.

The total cost of roofing including purchase of materials will be: 13,665,000. Labor cost for roofing will be 4,099,500. I have agreed with the Engineer that the labor cost will be paid after the roofing. However, we shall need to order for major materials especially timber which is usually scarce here.

Tomorrow I will send you receipts signed by Engineer for the previous Foundation and Walling labor costs.

God bless you.

UN -- Am I right in assuming the costs are in Ugandan funds? That's awesome work.

Yes sir, Ugandan Shillings I believe. It's about 5k US.

Dear friends,
As for today, we are left with two stages to complete the roofing wood work. The estimated time of completing the wood work roofing is this weekend. According to the Engineer, we will have to do the ceiling at the front and back of the building. The iron sheets roofing with follow soon.

I have still failed to rectify the fault in my scanner and printer. Seems it might not be easy to repair. I have accountability receipts for you on the $5000. We have purchased enough timber, iron sheets, nails and other roofing materials for the entire building. I will have to find another alternative how to send you the receipts by tomorrow 4th February.

The workers are requesting for payment advance. The advance is for labor costs. They are requesting for at least half of the payment in order to take back their children to schools. The schools opened for first term Monday 2nd February this week.

Yesterday I sent you total cost for the ceiling. However, the verandah and round the building, the ceiling will have to be made before putting the iron sheets. This will take about 40% of the total cost for the entire ceiling. The rest of the ceiling will be done after putting iron sheets.

Thanking you so much for your divine support.

Dear friends and Family,

I have just come back from the long trip.

You recently requested some important information about the childcare Ministry here in XXXXX - Uganda. The name of the Ministry is: "New Hope Childcare Uganda" It is locally registered with the Local Government at the District level. The District of our operation currently is XXXXX.



New Hope Childcare Uganda exists to provide shelter, food, education, Medical care, spiritual and emotional support, to needy orphans and ultimately widows in Soroti District, Uganda. The Organization aims at adhering to nationally accepted best practices in the care and upbringing of children based on the Ugandan law. The Organization will also contribute to the local communities through encouraging local people in taking up responsibility in caring for the orphans and widows. Furthermore, the Organization commits to parenting the orphans and other vulnerable children within Soroti and where the need be; even beyond the district.

Concerning language that we use, here we teach children in the language that unites all of them. And that is English for now. English is the official language in Uganda. Since these children come from various ethnic backgrounds, English is still the most convenient to bring about unity in the home. Besides, we also teach the children their mother language as a way of helping them not forget their roots.

Presently, we have a total of 15 children in the Home. Most of their ages range from 2years – 13years. However, there are three others above this age bracket. They are in Senior Secondary schools and University.



SHORT TERM GOALS

1. To take care of a total of 50 orphaned children by the end of 2015.

2. To create and establish a home environment for Orphaned children

3. To train 8 more children caregivers for responsibly taking care of the children.

4. To continue offering Education and vocational training skills to orphaned children.

5. To complete and enter into our 6-roomed Children’s Home.



We started with a manageable number of 6 orphaned children on a rented

House in June 2013. Presently, we are taking care of a total of 15 children in this same home. We now have 3 caregivers who are helping us in taking care of these precious children. After undergoing childcare training, they will serve as foster mothers and therefore make these children feel loved.



Yes, there is a great hope for placement of the orphans. Presently, the few children under our care are with us in our rented home. Once the current building that is under construction is completed, we intend to place a total of 50 orphaned children in this new Home. This is the number we can handle for the present time. We believe in starting small and growing. We cannot start with very big number because we will not be able to manage properly.



We are training the children through counseling, MDD, Bible teaching, and taking them to school. All of them are now going to school. They range between Pre-school and class Primary 6.



LONG TERM GOALS

1. To acquire more land for construction of school, expansion of the children’s home, setting up children’s clinic and extensive agricultural activities.

2. To maximize and engage in organic agricultural activities for food security and long term sustainability. We will engage in crop production, Cattle rearing, piggery and Poultry keeping.

3. To start our own school that will cater for the children’s education from Pre School to Primary school.

4. Establishing health care facilities that go along in serving the children and maybe nearby community.

5. To build up a church hall and conference center.

6. To install piped water to children’s Home.

6. To extend childcare services to other districts with high number of disadvantaged children.


Meanwhile, I am compiling the Children's pictures and personal data. As soon as I complete, I will submit.


Does this answer your question? If I have left out anything you deem important, let me know.


God richly bless you all.


Yours in the service of the Lord.

Bonny
