On April 21st, the first term of the school year ended. YCVM welcomed home the children who had been away for a three week holiday. This week marks the end of that holiday. Let us lift the children and volunteers up in prayer for the time together and the upcoming school term. May each child experience the nearness of God and the strength of support from here and in Kumi.
On April 25th, the YCVM team handed over a person they described as a “thug” who had made the school premises his hiding place. The space was vandalized and misused by this person and the YCVM team caught and handed him over to the local police. The police are currently carrying out investigations. Let us lift up prayers for the ongoing safety of the buildings and the community as well as the ongoing construction.
On May 4th, CCUMC released the 3rd installment of funds for ongoing orphan care and school fees ($2,000). These funds are from regular and ongoing donations for this purpose from donors within CCUMC and beyond. This was per the letter of understanding we had sent with Aeri last year during her visit. That letter covered the period between June 2010 and June 2011. Through this support, YCVM cares for 11 orphans, covering the costs for all school fees, books and supplies, transportation, health care, and more. Let us celebrate this important ministry to the most vulnerable and the way they extend the mothering love of God in such concrete ways. Let us remember the 11 orphans regularly.
On May 25th, Aeri departs for Uganda. She will be there through mid-July. She is planning to spend at least a week with YCVM in Kumi this year. Let us lift her up in this time of preparation.
