Hello All,
Thank you for your ongoing interest in Uganda. As you know, we continue to try to find different ways to provide assistance.
The latest news is that St. Kizito has just published a website: stkizito.org
Check it out--it is full of information and photos. The St Kizito foundation has helped over 500 young people in Africa resume or continue their education. Over the summer they also opened a counseling center. The foundation was begun by Fr. Don Dunson of St Mary's Seminary here in Cleveland, OH.
On June 10, Father Don Dunson will be giving a presentation on his book "Child, Victim, Soldier: Lost Innocence in Uganda" at St Angela Merici at 7 pm. All are welcome to attend. If you have never heard Fr Don talk about Uganda, you will be very moved. He is a tireless advocate for these victimized children. What wonderful work he is doing for them!
Long range adoption plans are still moving forward. Thank you for your interest. When the details are worked out, I will contact you.
The total for us for the bead sales is up to $5000. Incredible how much awarenes and money can be raised $5 at a time. Thanks to all who have participated. If anyone would like to start a bead selling project, please contact me at will.richardson@oh.rr.com. What a great fundraiser!
The Atiak project is still moving forward. They are currently clearing the land, surveying and starting with some housing for the nuns and for volunteers. The people of Atiak are so impoverished. They are very encouraged by the hope this project brings with it. They have already started training some of the girls in tailoring in some of the temporary structures.
Please continue to pray for peace, and God bless you all!
