Shoes for Christmas

GOLF TOURNAMENT!  
 
The Fourth Annual Uganda Children's Project Golf Tournament was held Saturday, May 16, 2009 at Eagle Bluff Golf Club in Chattanooga, TN. Thanks to Kevin, Kim, Lisa, and everyone else who helped make this year's tournament a huge success!

University Students

Even though her scores were very high, Jacinta saw no chance of continuing her education when she finished secondary school. Her mother had barely scraped together the money for her and her siblings to attend school. Jacinta knew it would be impossible for her mother to find the money for university fees. So after graduating secondary school, Jacinta stayed at home and helped her mother with the other children.

She heard about the Children's Project at church, but she found that the Project only supported children through secondary school. While Dan and I were in Uganda delivering shoes one Christmas, Jacinta approached us and asked if we would consider sponsoring a university student. Dan spoke with her for a while, then came to me and said he wanted to pay for Jacinta's university fees.
Jacinta became the first University graduate sponsored by the Uganda Chidren's Project when she graduated from Mackere University in January. Jacinta majored in business.
 
Since then, sponsored students have entered several different programs at several universities around Kampala. The golf tournament is supporting four university students this year, but the proceeds from the tournament are wearing very thin. Also, we have two students who will not be able to continue to university without a sponsor.

Christmas Shoe Project
 
This will be the fifth year for Uganda Children's Shoe Project. For only $15, you can purchase school shoes and socks for a child in Uganda. Last year, we delivered 1,500 pairs of shoes and socks to chldren in Uganda during the Christmas season. Our goal for 2009 is 2,000 pairs of shoes. Donating shoes for a Ugandan child on behalf of a friend, family member, business associate or co-worker makes the perfect Christmas gift! We even provide a card for you to print out for the gift recipient.
