T-Shirts Shared with Children

Pictured here are some of the children who acquired clothes from the
boxes we received from the distribution center, established by Wonderland BookSavers and US-Africa Children’s Fellowship in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Sadly all of these children are from Kiwangala Health centre IV and are HIV and AIDS positive children. They stay with older care takers and the majority do not attend school because of school fees challenges.

Out of 50 children in the picture only 18 have shoes and some have torn clothes because of weak financial stand. This is why we have submitted sponsorship proposal for future finding of partners who can adopt some of these children for Sponsorships. Additionally, if you would like to help these children, no funds needed, please see our list of much needed goods, Donate.

As resources allow, these children will all participate in the children’s Christmas party in mid-December.

PRAYERS

Kyamaganda is a member of the Catholic parish of Kyamaganda. Both children and adults regularly attend church services. Prayer is important as we put our faith in God, knowing that with God’s love, we will find a way to both survive and thrive.

Our prayers have been answered. We have received books and our children can receive an education. We continue to pray as much is still needed. Can you join us? Please say a prayer or a rosary with us. Together we can both be Blessed by our love for one another. Contact us if you would like to join us in prayer,

PEN PALS

We are so excited to be finally connecting with several US schools. We look forward to international friendships.

Here Brooks, of Wonderland BookSavers, is giving a presentation explaining our lifestyle in the Lwengo District. These children will become our new Pen Pals.


If you would like to write to us, we would love to be your Pen Pal! Contact us for details. We would love to get to know you!

WOMEN

One of the main objectives of KCDO is to provide women with the knowledge and opportunities to improve their lives and the lives of their children. We actively provide fundamental education in the areas of farming and animal husbandry. One example is our recent foray into pig farming. Women have been learning every aspect of pig farming, from piglet care to the economics of running and maintaining a successful farm, including encouraging interactions with neighboring farming communities to build a better breeding program.

Our programs provide women with the economic knowledge necessary for them to engage in small business entrepreneurship.

We welcome financial assistance that would address the ability for women to begin individual small business enterprises. Statistics have shown that women-owned business are the most successful means of improving the lives of entire families. Contact us if you would like to expand opportunities for women.

PENCILS

These children are enjoying learning about animals.

School supplies are as simple and universal as the pencils, crayons, markers, pens and maps US children have at home. Here you can see Wonderland BookSavers has filled baggies and shoe boxes with these items, collected by children. We at KCDO received these items. For the first time, Kyamaganda children have the school supplies that enable them to learn. Before this we had to share one pencil among several children.

Pencils are a real gift!

Thank you! If you would like to donate simple supplies like pens and pencils, please Contact us.

BOOKS

Through book donations we received from Wonderland BookSavers we were able to supply 18 schools and 100’s of children throughout our region with numerous books for the very first time.

Books are our most necessary tool for generating literacy among our young students.

These children are learning to read and write in English and are hoping to have sufficient success in Primary School to enable them to enter Secondary School.

Do you see unread books sitting around your home?

Every book that your children have outgrown can be donated so that these children can become literate.

One of the most exciting moments is to look at these pictures and recognize a book that you have personally placed in a box and donated to this cause.

Join the fun! Donate your gently used children’s books today. It is that easy to be the miracle in someone else’s life. Contact us for more information.
