| Providing mattresses, bed sheets, and mosquito nets to Kenneth's family! |
I have been overwhelming blessed by the number of people who desire to come alongside and help with the ministry here... whether through prayers, encouragement, financial support, or school supplies.
Our goal is to provide the basic necessities to families in need and to give them the hope of Jesus! We do this by providing education, medical care, and the message of salvation and that someone loves them within the village.
Instead of sending you on a wild goose chase through my hard to follow blog... I thought I would put all the links in one place so that any and all of your questions could be answered (I hope!).
As you are going through past blogs, there may be a line through some of the school supplies. Even though these are crossed out it is an on going need as well as financial support for our building projects and sponsorship for our children (you can find children that need to be sponsored on my facebook page).
As the upcoming school year for Integrity Primary School starts on February 3rd... there are some goals that I have set for the upcoming school year...
Goal 1: Make sure each teacher is equipped and provided for... I am in process of going through supplies and preparing for each classroom as well as for staff development. (Our teacher's make equivalent to about $75 per month... and that is considered decent pay here in Uganda but it leaves very little room to buy much needed supplies out of their pocket!) When we start we will have baby class, middle class, top class, P1 and P2... so 5 classrooms of little brown eyed cuties or about 120 children at this point! Always need things like crayons, colored pencils, and other educational supplies.
Goal 2: Set up a small library for the children to come and "check-out" books. I am looking for some library pockets to go in books so that the children can borrow them along with note cards and a date stamp. Can also always use more children's books.
Goal 3: Make resources that will last long past me being here... in order to preserve posters and other items we need contact paper and big rolls of wide clear tape.
Goal 4: Finish writing all the policies and procedures along with the teacher and family handbooks. One of the things I noticed to ensure security on campus is needing name tags for visitors or some sort of visitors pass.
So here are the links of previous blogs... this is where it all started... HOW CAN I HELP??

If you are planning on hand delivering items... check with the airlines on how much you can carry internationally as sometimes special exceptions are made when they know you are bringing "humanitarian supplies" to a 3rd world country.
Other ways you can help...make a financial donation to the ministry at https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/InTheFieldMinistriesITFM/donate2.html
Should you have any questions feel free to contact me directly.
