Today is the end of term - APPLAUSE TO BABYRIE

APPLAUSE TO BABYRIE - the best performing pupil in the "Baby Class"

Little Babyrie is getting her results

We are so happy to have today's main topic our little Babyrie, who is 4 years old.

She and her brother Waiswa are actually very new to our home since January 2012 when she was very weak and frightened. (viz pic below)

Babyrie has been always a very sensitive little girl, who took longer to smile, she did not talk and did not engage with others at first. 

Now three months after, she speaks fluently english and she is being nominated as the best performer in her "baby class".

We are very proud that Babyrie is enjoying learning and developing into this sweet beautiful and ever happy girl.

Community Work - counselling to family of our staff member

RE: FAMILY COUNSELLING VISIT TO CHARLES (STAFF)

On the 10^th/April/2012, we were approached by Charles’s wife, one of our very own staff. She had deep seated grievances she wished to discuss with Emmanuel and I. they were to do with their family, issues she said were rapidly destroying their family. 

“Charles says he has 5 children that were left behind by their mother after a divorce, his first wife, and that his current wife is not giving them sufficient love as he wishes it to happen. 

His wife also says that if Charles his husband truly trusts her then he should give her all the rights to nurture the children as their mother…disciplining them where necessary (with the Cain) something Charles does not agree with at all. Also, while Charles married this lady, his current wife, she too had two children and now Charles is ordering her to take them back to their father something the woman isn’t willing to do. This is what is causing this family a lot of trouble”

We for this reason thought it wise to intervene and probably listen to this couple, and try to reunite them making them acknowledge each other as a unique person, respecting each other’s differences as individuals so they can harmoniously raise their children as a family.

It is very true also that if we do not help families like these by teaching them how to love one another as married couples and also fail to help them with issues of proper parenting, we are continually going to be hit with overwhelming numbers of child headed families as an express result of divorce or separation; other catastrophes include single parenting, aggravated health issues in families and hopelessness.

It is against these reasons paid this family a visit, organised a counseling session for them and tried to create a reconciliation plat form for them.

Costs involves: 20,000 (cca £7)

Transport;                                                 4000

Meals:                                                       10,000

Transport for Charles’ wife and child: 2000

Airtime:                                                    4000

Community Work - follow up on Hagira, Bridgette and Muwanga

- follow up

When we met this trio more than a month ago it was a very saddening encounter.

The children lived in very bad conditions, and their legs heavily infested with jiggers. The children lived in a child headed family led by a 9 year old boy. They barely  had food to eat as their mother was truly married to alcohol. We were made to understand that this lady hardly spent two days in a week at her home.

We started counselling this lady during the month of March and as I report now, the whole family is reunited and the children can now afford a smile on their faces.

All thanks go out to Whisper supports for your continuous support to these causes. Our plan is to improve these children's sleeping conditions through purchase of beds, blankets and bed sheets and mosquito nets. We also intend to resettle them into school so that they too can live the normal life as other children do.

In addition to the above information, below are the following costs for the needs in this family.

Papyrus of dividing the room so that they can use for both running some business as well as sleeping on the other side:

• Papyrus, nails, plus transport for these materials 65.000 UGSH
• School fees are 35.000 per child per term in a nearby private school, for the Government school is very far for these kids to run every morning to Kyabilwa Primary Schoo. This is without any scholastic material for them.
• In the matter of improving the sleeping condition, the following costs will be encored:

1. Two decker Beds 90.000
2. Two mattresses 90.000
3. Three blankets and bed sheets 30.000
4. Two mosquito nets 20.00

The community outreach costs was 25.000 for transport, water and bits such were soap to wash the children, and their clothes, and some sweets.

Thanks to Whisper

WELCOME FLAVIA - New employee of One World Orphanage

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WELCOME FLAVIA

Flavia is was unemployed lady who is voluntarily caring for Benitta Nansove - a baby girl who we wrote about in our previous blog.

Life is very hard for her as you can clearly see what condition they live at. 

The little baby can only recover if the conditions are changed and there are hygienic improvements.

That is why Whisper invest their funds to improving sleeping conditions for children, so no skin condition or any other bacteria can turn into their bodies.

We saw the heart of this young lady, the passion for children and caring personality. She applied to for a job at One World Orphanage and Education two months ago, and today it is her first working day! We are very happy to have her with us, because it is not just going to help her but also to Nansove Benitta - a little baby girl that Whisper is now treating for a skin condition and bacterial infection.

Whisper is going to assist her with the necessary things such is new beds, mattresses and  mosquito nets and obviously clothes for her beautiful baby - Benitta - who is an orphan.

Not ideal sleeping condition, but from the observation, we can see that Flavia is a tidy and clean person.

Community Work - Hospital outreach for 1 year old baby girl

Nansove is a 1 ½ year old little baby that lives with us on Mutai-Kanyale village. This little baby’s plight and pain was discovered by one of our Whisper Volunteer; Tomek, from Poland on one of his village trecks one day.

With the tens of sours from burst blisters, one can clearly see that this little baby should be suffering a lot of pain.  At first, Tomek thought this was some sort of mosquito bite sours until yesterday when we took the little baby to the hospital that we discovered she suffered from Congenital Syphilis caused by Spirochete Bacterium. She is currently undergoing treatment at Mukesh Children’s Hospital in Jinja

Costs involved:

20,000 for treatment donated by Tomek-Volunteer

 NOTE: This baby’s treatment is going to need more funding as will be communicated after today’s hospital communications.

"Thank you Tomek for the contribution!" 

Rebecca is smiling at last

Hello everyone!
This is just to say thank you who has been thinking of our mama Rebecca.

Her operation has been successful and she is now back to work.
She is taking it slowly but with smile!

We are very happy and we hope that no post operation complications will appear.
