2016 Update from Ntenjeru, Mukono District, Uganda
We received this email below from our Ministry Partners in Uganda. It’s refreshing and a great reminder that small donations can accumulate to make a difference in the lives of so many people. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our donors and your continued support and faithfulness makes all this possible. Please enjoy the commentary below from Pastor Micheal as he shares the details of projects accomplished in Uganda, through the faithful support of many.
Blessings, Lisa Sorensen, December, 2016.
Email received on December 22, 2016 – captioned ‘Christmas Wishes’
On behalf of Ntenjeru community Presbyterian Church and Ntenjeru/Ntanzi Covenant Junior , let me take this opportunity to thank WORD INDEED PRESIDENT and all BOARD MEMBERS for the entire support , advise and encouragement you have given and provided to us this year 2016.
These support includes;
Funds for gutter. These gutters really are helping us so much . We had a tank which has been in place for all most four years without using it but now we are using that since gutters were bought.
School latrines: At the school we had a big challenge of using church latrine yet it was not enough for the school population since it was constructed for few people. As i talk now, school latrines are well constructed and it can handle all th school population.
Soccer field: This was unbelievable because i never had this in my mind. Around this area, there is no any school with a soccer field and our school is the first to have this. I believe with in six or eight months from now this soccer field will be ready even though drought due to climatic changes has been a challenge to the growth of grass.
Church chairs: We received more than 100 plastic chairs which was finished by the school pupils. Pupils finished church chairs because by the time we opened up the school we had nothing to start with. But now all church members are happy and sitting in the church during services comfortable.
Funds for the floor: This is one of the great great thing which made pupils and me very excited. Since we began, pupils have been sitting in dust in four rooms but now all classes have good floor yet plastering in four rooms is not in place but pupils are enjoying classes now.
Drilling water: The new bore hole was already dug yet it is not incomplete but we have a hope that very soon it will be completed.
Free medical treatment and services: We appreciate for the free medical services ever given to us every year. This service has helped very very many people who can not access medical services due to poverty . Lives of many people have been saved through surgery, cancer screening and HIV testing and counseling.
School tour at Botanical garden: This has encouraged pupils to preserve the nature and the environment clean. In this, pupils have started planting fruit trees around the school.
School fees for pupils: Thank you very much for paying school fees for needy and orphan pupils. I know and i believe this will change their lives and families greatly.
Thank you all for the bibles, mosquito nets and school text books donated to our school and the pupils. Really malaria cases have been very few among our pupils due to mosquito nets given to them.
Also thanks goes to those who bought jerry cans where by every church member received a jerry can.
Speech day funds: Board members thank you very much for the speech day funds. In fact these funds made our speech day a special one and all parents were very excited for the drinks and lunch given to them.
Annet’s daughter Sandra who had teeth problem. The life of this child really changed . She had teeth problem since childhood and she was unable to laugh and talk in public. But now, teeth problem is a proverb to her and she enjoys laughing and talking in public as i talk now.
Crusade funds: Thank you also for funding us to make our crusade possible.Through this crusade , i believe lives of very many people will be changed.
Am continuing appreciating the work my sister RACHEL KABEJJA is doing. Thank you for your good behavior and trust continue with that spirit also in 2017 . Although some are misusing your name badly and reject plus abusing you, don’t fear your not the first person to be rejected and abused even JESUS CHRIST was abused and rejected but He continued serving God’s kingdom until He completed God’s mission. So, i want to encourage you, continue serving the needy and God’s kingdom with that humble heart you have your reward is in heaven.
Further more, Word indeed board directors and members, thank you very much for what you have done for Ugandans especially people in Mukono district and the entire communities of Ntenjeru/Ntanzi, Mpunge, Bunakijja and Lulagwe. Continue with that spirit in 2017 and be the same yesterday, today and tomorrow as our God is.
Lastly, i like to wish you all a happy christmas as JESUS is born in our families , ministries , churches and in our jobs not only that but also a developmental and a joyful new year 2017.
We love and praying for all of you. Kaggwa Micheal – Headmaster, Ntenjeru Covenant School and Pastor in Training, Ntenjeru Presbyterian Church
