Dear Friends,
We are being affected by the Social Media outage today, October 4, 2021.
We haven’t gone anywhere, the children are fine, so is the team.
Enjoy a picture of Alibaikiriza Miriam Dishy, in her football t-shirt, because girls love football too 🥰
With love,
Veronica
A while ago, two of our children came to us to advise they have been experiencing eye problems. The younger gil, Shakira Favour, has a dot on her eye which can be anything from a foreign object to a discoloration or even a tumour. The boy had his eyes teary and irritated, and the vision blurry.
After Veronica has fundraised a small amount necessary for the trip and treatment, the children were taken by Mugoya to the eye-hospital in Tororo, where both children were admitted for further investigation.
It turned out that Wickliffe had a piece of glass stuck in his eye, which was carefully removed. It is not eyt clear what Shakira had, but she received treatment and we will see progress of her situation in two weeks time.
Finally, both children received a very tasty lunch and returned home. We are waiting to see progress and results of the treatment received, and they have already advised that they are feeling better.
It was a very good day in our activity and we would like to thank all the good friends that made this intervention possible.
Please consider donating to help one of our children! You will see the results right here.
With love and gratitude,
Veronica and Mugoya
Sometimes, the pictures speak better than words, so we are simply letting you enjoy the beautiful pictures and the children’s smiles.
I should do a better job at updating the website, but the workload is so huge and I am alone. The main focus is to feed the children.
Since the beginning of the year, each day without a single pause, we have been feeding an average of 30 children per day. We also take up medical cases now – of children and adults coming to us with their last hope, suffering from various maladies. We do our best to help them, and so far we have succeeded.
Our aim, our single aim is to improve and save lives – according to each situation that is presented to us. Many people have it on their bucket list. “Save someone’s life!” What if I told you that a simple donation of 10 euros can save a child’s life? Because 10 euros translates into about 15 kg of grains, that can be used to feed a small child for a month.
In Uganda, there currently is a very strict lockdown. People are forced to stay at home, they cannot go to work. While we cannot disagree with the decisions of the law, we know that before dying of Covid, people will starve to death in their houses. They cannot work in the fields, they cannot go fishing, everything is forbidden. Some children survive on contaminated water, insects and cattle food.
Africa is there, far away, and I am here, in my comfortable little apartment, having a job, enough food and everything those people cannot even imagine. I cannot let them starve to death, no matter how much effort it takes. It takes a huge toll on my emotional balance, because I have no detachment; it torments me to see children or elderly suffering from malnutrition, so thin that there is barely some skin covering their fragile bones.
Do you want to save a life? Do you have just some spare change – but you want to make a difference? Do it. I will show you the results.
This child, Kidumbulu, is the one who determined us to build a Clinic! He is our inspiration.
Many of our children received a lot of food today. I am grateful to all the wonderful people that are feeding them and making them smile. Those children have a better life thanks to people like you and me. Do not imagine that there are very rich people among our sponsors. No. Simple people, living simple lives in modesty and kindness, and who share with others – because, as Maria says – they know how it feels to have… nothing.
A regular day at HOCT
