Our last pastor letter comes from project RW-368, the project that my boy Jule attends. It sounds like Jule lives in an area with a lot of difficulties. I'm thankful to God that Compassion is available to help the children and their families.

Dear Kayla,
I am called Mugabe Laurent and I am the pastor of the church associated with the Cyegara Child Development Center where we minister to Jule.
We thank you for your sponsorship and for supporting Jule. May God bless you.
Our community is greatly touched by extreme poverty. Consequently, children constitute the most important part affected by poverty. The challenge our community faces is malnutrition in children and lack of means for going to school. Therefore, children need various things depending on their ages, but most need nutritious food and the ability and supplies to go to school. Both quality and quantity to help them acquire knowledge and skills. Our Center recognizes this and provides this. We develop the children holistically in the spiritual, physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional areas.
The Center impacts more than just children, but all of the community. Some of the children and caregivers have been baptized after being received in the Center and being taught the Word of God. All the children have been given medical insurance and they get hygienic materials on a monthly basis. Caregivers have been taught to regroup themselves in cooperatives to start up income generating activities so that they can free themselves from poverty. Caregivers, children, and social workers visit each other. They are emphasized on training the care givers and children and various topics like how they can prevent themselves from being attacked by malaria and other poor sanitation diseases.
The letters that the children receive from their sponsors are of great value. The relationship is greatly developed and the children feel so happy and loved to hear from their sponsors. The letters and words encourage them in their lives and help them to feel that they have hope and a purpose. The smiles on the faces of the children who receive letters and photos and Bible verses from their sponsors are like gold. They are delighted to write back with news about their lives and their progress. Please do provide this experience for Jule and write letters.
We thank you and praise you for all that you do and sacrifice for Jule and our Center.
We also keep you in our prayers so that God can bless you in all your activities.
With a heart full of joy, may God bless you.
Yours Sincerely,
Pastor Mugabe Laurent
