-We have 2 new child sponsorships with Philip Hayden Foundation: Maya and Asa. Check out their bios at the China page.

-We have partnered with Mocha Club in support of their Child Mothers Project. Uganda is replete with people who have lived in fear since the mid 80’s. The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel paramilitary group in Northern Uganda, has terrorized villages through raids where they are taking children to add to their army, killing villagers, and destroying the village. Joseph Kony, the leader of the LRA, has denied this. There are many young women in Gulu, Uganda, however, who tell a different story… These young women are called “child mothers” because they were only children themselves when they were abducted, trained as fighters, and given as sex slaves to rebel soldiers in the LRA. Now that they have escaped or been excused as expendable, the community at large rejects them and their children. We are helping fund the “Village of Hope” where nearly 500 of these child mothers can live in a safe community with shelter, a job training center, a medical facility, and a school for their children.

-Biscuet made us a video with updates from China. We are excited about what is going on over there and all the work being done.
