letter from Ruth

August 29, 2008 at 6:31 am (my life in Uganda) (, , , , , , , , , )

I am called Nambowa Ruth Bulyaba, the Director of Another Hope children’s Ministry in Uganda.

The situation at the children’s home is right now in an alarming situation. There is no food simply because the money planned for food had to go on rent because the land lord wanted 4 months payment else we would be thrown out of the house. Secondly two of the children fell sick and we had to spend much money on treatment for the two children.

So paying all those left us with no money for food and the children all are looking to me for food.

The major source of funds for this project is my salary and now I have a loan that I got to buy a piece of land where I would like to build the children’s home. So in that case I get half of my salary, the other half goes on the loan.

So I appeal to all of you to send us any amount of money to help us buy food and feed the hungry children.

Our website is www.anotherhope.org

Thanks very much.

This is the budget of the money we need for food:

cooking oil 5litres 22,000.00 (14 $) One month
posho 100kgs 125,000.00 (77 $) One month
