Hands of Love totals raised from Locomotion Collection
John and Linda report to me today that they have raised £284 plus assorted foreign coins!! - from their collection and one of the orphans has found a sponsor.
Also someone enquired about their talking to a church group which might bring them some more money in the future. I went to their web site www.handsoflove.org.uk to see what difference that money might make. The link to “Life in Uganda” makes grim reading, where nearly 1 in 4 children in the country are orphaned and can be subjected to terrible exploitation .
£250 is needed each month to make sure that every person in the orphanage (sponsored and unsponsored) gets a decent meal once a month, and this is like a special “party day”. So I think that is a good thing to think that our event has achieved - a party for the Hands of Love Orphanage.
