Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means God is with us." Matthew 1:23
God has certainly been with Educate Uganda throughout 2019. This does not mean everything in our organization or personal lives has been perfect. In Uganda and in the United States, we have had some heartache, worry and loss of family and dear friends. However, it is in those sad moments that God's loving presence enters our hearts and whispers the words, "Emmannuel, God is with you!".
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers and your wonderful generosity in 2019! The gifts you have provided for the children in Uganda have been so impactful! In 2019, approximately 1,500 primary students were able to attend school and receive a meal each school day; 15 students completed secondary school; 19 students completed vocational school; a four-classroom structure and four staff housing units were added at one of our partner schools; text books, dictionaries and atlases were provided for many of our partner schools; and desks were contributed for our four new classrooms.
To say we feel blessed does not capture the joy and wonder in our hearts! As Christmas approaches and you reflect on 2019, please spend a moment recognizing the joy your gifts provided the children we serve in Uganda.
