As I've mentioned in earlier posts, my friend Carlos Whittaker and a team of 15 bloggers are in Uganda this week as part of a Compassion International trip. The bloggers are posting videos, pictures, and stories of what they're seeing there. After watching and reading these stories, we made the decision to commit to sponsoring a child in Uganda. $32.00 per month can and will make a difference in her life and we are excited about getting to know our new little girl.Her name is Phinah and she is 3 years old. She lives in the Budimo Village of Uganda with her parents and 3 other children. Neither of her parents have regular jobs. In this area of Uganda, adults that are employed full time average an income of $2 per month. Her village is in an area that is heavily affected by HIV/AIDS. Our sponsorship will get Phinah in a program that will provide her with health screenings, supplementary food, education (school fees, clothing & supplies), and communication and life skills training. We are excited about the opportunity to communicate with and get to know Phinah. Welcome to our family!
If you'd like to sponsor a child and make a difference in an area that desperately needs it, here is the link to do so.
