Water Shortage In Uganda

When my friends in the United States are enduring the freezing cold, in Uganda we are going through a very serious drought, I have not seen this kind of heat and dryness in Uganda in so many years, whether it is because of weather changes I have no idea.

It has been predicted that this drought  will continue till late May this year.

As some of you may know, most places dont have running water and wells are starting to run dry, people are walking more miles and lining up for hours to get some water.

This is also causing faming since most people get food from gardens which are drying up.

For some of us with big programs like school kids who need several hundreds of litres of water daily, this becomes a huge challenge to keep the institutions open, this also includes our building project where lots of water is needed daily. We need prayer for the rains to come in ASAP to help us not fail to keep the School open because of the huge expense. As you can see, we have been buying truck loads of water to help us serve the kids.

Thank God I had built 2 underground tanks to help harvest water from the roof when ever it rains they have helped us store  our water, since there is no rain and the tanks empty, the only choice we have is to buy water on trucks.

 News Report

Speaking from Christchurch after flying down this afternoon, the New Zealand Herald quoted Key as telling One News that it was likely the quake would prove to be New Zealand's "darkest day".
He said that New Zealanders should be assured that their government is doing everything it can to provide relief and rehabilitation.
He said there were 180 police on the ground, a further 200 were on the way and 350 military were already in Christchurch with another 250 to arrive soon.
The government had accepted offers of specialist help from Australia and US.
"I don't think we can go past the fact that we may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day," Key said, but added that the death toll 65 may rise.
Christchurch mayor Bob Parker says: "As daylight comes tomorrow we need to prepare ourselves for what is likely to be significant numbers of casualties."
Earlier today, residents reported were bodies lying in the streets of Christchurch.
Police said fatalities had been reported at several locations and that falling buildings had crushed two buses.
Mayor Parker has declared a state of emergency. (ANI)

Latest Report from Cambodia

The haunting memories of the formidable Khmer Rouge regime still plague the minds of Cambodians today. Under the leadership of Pol Pot, this bloodthirsty, communist rule killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians (1/5 of the population) in three years. Parents witnessed the abduction of their child by the government. Farmers were unable to produce food due to buried landmines. Relatives, friends, and neighbors saw their loved ones taken to the “killing fields” as the government filled these mass graves with innocent people. Even though the Khmer Rouge regime came to an end, the descendents are still haunted by their tragic history. 

FTH began an Every Child Every Day program in Kompong Thorn with the help of Sokhon and Esther of Evangelical Mission Church. This program started off by providing food for 520 children daily through your support.

'Praise the Lord; in 2007 before we had the feeding program, we had only 5 villages outreach and only about 20-30 people in our church. So far we have 20 villages outreach and over 100 people come to attend our Sunday service in our mother church. But the total believers in all of these places, there are not least than 1000 (adults, youths and children) believers.

The percentage of the children who couldn’t go to school before, now most of them are able to go to school. And they are saved.'

We now feed

1-    We feed 600 children 4-5 meals per week.

2-    We feed another 600 kids 1 time a month (Just only desert).

3-    We feed 30 kids in our children’s home (Daily, 3 times a day)

 Please pray for 

For increasing fund, so we can feed more needy children.

Because now the ministry is bigger and I can’t do it alone, so please pray for financial need for the salary for 4 full time staffs.

For my family peacefulness and healthiness.

For the faithfulness of the believers.

For more kids are being saved and their parents.

For more churches to be planted in Cambodia through my association.

For two more motorbikes because now we have 20 villages outreach but we have only 2 motorbikes to use to all these places.

Haiti Playground

 Seeing Smiling faces at last in Haiti, Its great to see photos of the playground which was donated to Feed the Hungry now in place and the kids having fun on it. Thanks to your Help we can bring joy into the lives of many even though the kids are still living in tents and shacks among the rubble. Yet the work of supplying food and water still goes on, not only to bring relief from the devastation that they are constantly reminded of around them, but for a hope for the future . As you can see from the photos the school here is still in a tent, part of the program we as Feed The Hungry is involved in is to provide 2,500 houses around the school. Please pray for the government to release the land documentation for this to continue.

Steffan and Pete give an account of the work still to be done one year on in Haiti, with over 1million people still living in tents.Thank you for being part of the solution in providing $1.8 million dollars worth of aid which has been used to assist our partners in Haiti provide food and water to for our EveryChild EveryDay program. We are in Haiti long term as we know that the need is still to create a stable environment to which the children of Haiti can see and know of a future amongst the devastation.

Over this past year we have provided over 20 containers of rice, oil, beans, tarps, blankets and most importantly Haitian bibles bringing the hope that is in Christ Jesus.

Liberia

Our most recent shipment of food relief arrived yesterday in Liberia where Allen Klayee and our partner with Liberty Christian Church will not only use it to bolster our ongoing support for area orphanages, but use it to give much needed food aid and relief to the 22,000+ refugees that have already crossed into Liberia from the Ivory Coast as a result of the political unrest in the region.
