As
difficult as the pandemic has been in the USA, it has been and remains
exponentially more so in third world countries such as Uganda. Immunization is
nearly non-existent in the general population. Our Lambs are sequestered
in our two children’s homes if no extended family are available to care for
them in lockdown. Some of the higher institutions had partially opened to students
to continue their educations, but the decision to open lower grades shortly has
now been reversed, and the country's President has reinstated quarantine orders in the light
of the increasing spread of the virus. It is feared that a dangerous second wave of
Covid-19 in the country is imminent.
As you can
imagine, as hard as it has been for students in countries with stable economies
and reliable internet access, in Uganda and other struggling countries
schooling while under quarantine has been inadequate, and minimal at best. We are
eager to see the students resuming their courses of study, and especially eager
for encouragement of their spiritual growth through Child Evangelism
visitations.

staff and caregivers are creatively continuing to give their all to nurture our
Lambs. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and sponsors, the needs of
God’s Lambs continue to be supplied even in this challenging time! Despite the
circumstances, you will see from the report that they are thriving and
progressing.
Join us in
thanking our God for the health of our in-country staff and Lambs so far; and pray
that the beleaguered little country will soon be able to anticipate relief from
the pandemic.
