Meet Sheeba Namakula
Sheeba has been Sponsored!Sheeba will be 11 this April. Her life has never been easy. Her father died while she was still forming in her mother’s womb. When she was just a young child she contracted malaria, a disease that few African children escape. On average, a Ugandan child suffers from six malaria episodes every year. It is estimated that each day, 350 children die every day in Uganda from this dreaded disease. Malaria can cause stunted growth, childhood anemia, and mental retardation.
Malaria affected Sheeba’s eyes and ravaged her brain, leaving her a mentally retarded. In the U.S. we would call her a special needs child.
In Uganda, there are no programs or schools to help children with disabilities and Sheeba was denied enrollment in the school she previously attended. Betty, who’s heart has always been moved by children the world rejects, enrolled her in the primary 1 class at Rock of Ages. Sheeba is still able to learn but at a much slower pace than others her age. She lives with her mother, who is currently unemployed, and her brother who also enrolled at Rock of Ages this year. Please consider sponsoring this special girl. She can surely be counted as “one of the least among us”, a child who truly needs your love and support. Your $20/month sponsorship guarantees a spot in the school for Sheeba and
enables her to continue receiving an education by qualified teachers, a
meal & juice each school day, and a school uniform. If you are able
you can upgrade to a premium sponsorship of $40/month and a monthly
food pack of rice and eggs will be provided to Sheeba's family the first
of each month during the school term.
Please prayerfully consider sponsoring Sheeba or making a one-time
donation in her name. A one-time donation in any amount will help offset
his tuition or if you like, you can specify your funds in Sheeba's name
for support to his family. Learn how by visiting the Hands4Uganda Donate

Jonathan is four years old and has been living with both his parents. He has been attending school at Rock of Ages preschool for two years and is currently enrolled in grade PK-4.
Over the last month, Jonathan's attendance at school has been very irregular. Jackie, his teacher became very concerned and decided to visit his home to see if there was anything that she could do to help him get back to school.
Upon arrival at Jonathan's home, his teacher learned from a neighbor that Jonathan's parents had a fight and separated, both going their own direction, leaving Jonathan on his own. Jonathan was left with no food or supervision for two days until a neighbor discovered the situation and took him into her care. The neighbor did not want to expose the domestic dispute so was not sending Jonathan to school. Additionally she was concerned about the cost of his tuition, knowing she would not be able to pay the fee.
After much discussion and encouragement from the teacher, the neighbor agreed to allow Jonathan to continue his education at Rock of Ages, tuition free, for the time being where he will receive one nutritious meal per day. The neighbor agreed to provide dinner and shelter for the young boy until his parents return knowing that in this part of Uganda it is likely that they may never return. The neighbor's largest concern is with regards to any medical bills should Jonathan become injured or ill in any way.
As of the release of this newsletter, the whereabouts of Jonathan's parents are still unknown.
Please prayerfully consider sponsoring Jonathan or making a one-time donation in his name. The monthly sponsorship fee to ensure he is able to continue attending Rock of Ages is only $20 per month. A one-time donation in any amount will help offset his tuition or if you like, you can specify your funds in Jonathan's name for medical expenses if or when they are needed.
