No, we did not make a request for financial aid to the flood victims in Eastern Uganda. However, one of you responded from our prayer request and I just wanted to brag on the kind of partners that you are. Here is what David R. wrote when he sent in a gift for the Ugandans:
“We don’t have a choice….we have to help when disaster to our brothers and sisters like this happens. We just have to.”
Amen! And, no, this is still not a request for special giving. I just wanted to share what Appleseed has already helped accomplish. We will continue to monitor the situation and observe how the government there continues to respond.
Here is Henry’s report:
We found the people who have survived are lacking food and other home needs. With the money you gave, we bought maize flour, soap, salt, and sweets for the children. We did the best we could though the people were many. The government offered them tents where they are staying in now, but they still lack anything to sleep on and cover themselves. We found out that when their houses were swept away even their clothes are gone. We will continue to assist and are so happy for your supporting us in this time.
As for Brooks and myself, we are nowhere near these devastating floods. We have been holed up in Nairobi for a few days and are now transitioning to Rwanda where we will be facilitating a conference for Disciple Making Movement practitioners. More on that to come…
