You may be asking yourself “How can I help?”
my answer would be “in many ways.”
Below is a list of projects we were personally
involved with. Anything you can
contribute will be used to help the underprivileged and a small amount (even
$20/mo.) will not affect your standard of living but will greatly improve
another person’s life!! If you have
trouble deciding which project to support I would suggest choosing one that you
may have an opportunity to visit in person one day. There is not a feeling in the world that
compares to seeing how your contribution has made a difference.

Primary School
Stay with Moses and his family and volunteer
to teach at the school, no experience necessary just a big heart for helping
kids. The students are so eager to learn and you will build heart-warming relationships with these wonderful kids.
Or if gardening is your passion then come
share your education with them. The soil
is rich and could likely grow anything but all the farms grow the same things
because it’s their tradition.
Consider helping the girls in the school
by funding feminine products, without this support these girls miss 3-5 days per month
of school.
We also plan to begin a Soccer Jersey program for the 3 villages near Jinja. They have just formed a committee and will be putting together projects and a proposal for our assistance. I will be looking for a community in the Okanagan to support this project.

- In
the town of Jinja is a disabled older man in desperate need of a wheelchair, he
has spent his entire life crawling on his deformed limbs. I have contacts in the area if you want to bless this man.
Of course familiar charities such as Compassion
Ministries & World Vision are criticized for their high administration
costs and although this is true and we agree less money should be spent this
way we are also happy to report that they still do make a difference in the
communities they support. For example, if
it was not for World Vision Ozi’s family and community in Malawi would not have accesss
to water. Your monthly donation of $40
supports whole communities not just one child and even children not sponsored benefit.
