Their work with orphans is beginning in Tororo, a couple of hourse northeast near the Kenyan border. Excepts from their commincatins give a glimpse of the challenge and the vision. The distance to Tororo is 2.5 hours. We have a small car and the roads are so bad. The brethren we are working with live in areas where they are completely out of touch.
Communications are difficult.
This has been a great burden on our hearts, seeing all these orphaned children suffering and all the increasing number of street children. A few weeks ago, the deputy mayor invited me to one of their executive meetings to talk about social services which we can provide, and the issue of children was brought up. Sometimes we feel so overwhelmed with these great needs and heartbreaking issues. Because of the high concentration of orphans inTororo, we thought it would be better to look for a building to use as an orphanage or Home of Refuge. It contains a cinema hall that could be used for services and teaching as well as room for an orphanage.
