Shoes for Christmas
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 1,248 pairs of shoes and socks to chldren in Uganda during the Christmas season Our goal for 2008 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.
 

 
We Need New Sponsors

As a result of current economic conditions, we are seeing a number of sponsorship cancellations. This leaves us with children who are in school and doing well, but there is no one to continue paying school fees. So far, we have managed to pay all fees from proceeds from the golf tournament. Our reserves, however, are running very low.

Are you in a position to help? Please send an email. We will be happy to provide more information.

University Students

Jacinta will become the first University graduate sponsored by the Uganda Chidren's Project when she graduates from Mackere University in January. Jacinta majored in business and she has already found a job.
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 moth
er 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.

Since then, other graduates 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. Could you help make a univeristy student's dreams come true? Please send email theourgh CONTACT US for more information. In addition to students already attending university, we have a waiting list of students who hope to enter in August.
