Dear Friends!
Time can fly.A lot to share but not sure where to start from? Well, I will start from my last communication. Do you remember Joy’s background and problem? (Father killed Mother, then brother killed Father and brother now in prison). One reader copied the newsletter to two friends. One of them arranged forthe offering at the annual “Churches Together” service to be for Joy’s first semester fees on a nursing course. Separatelytwo others sent money that will cover 2nd and 3rd semesters. Can you imagine how excited I was?
Flavia and Joy were both enrolled on the nursing course. Their past experience was of GLH where they lived and had had theirself-learning course, all in a small area. Now they had to find their own way across a campus to different rooms. A totally different experience which they found hard initially but have now settled in. The positive part is that there are a lot of interactions with different learners coming from different part of the country. There is a lot of liberty as no one will force you to study neither find a lecturer.Keeping your academic focus with wider friendships and liberty is an enormous thing to learn.What a change for Joy!Schools re-open on 07.09.2026 and candidate classes to start on 30.08.2026 for Cynthia, Liz, (S6) Isaac as well as our GLH self-study program (S4).
We have a range of ages at GLH. The younger ones enjoying their food.

I have enjoyed my name at GLH *Uncle James * for years of course but this time it has cut deep as one of the kids asked me why is it that all uncles don’t treat us the way you do? I checked how do I do it compared to other uncles? You serve us food and sometimes mingle posho for us, buy us soda and rice and you don’t cane us when we do wrong like other uncles . (Of-course there is no corporal Punishment at GLH and GLS as we believe it’s not a right-way to discipline a child). I replied caning can bea form of abuse and, when it is, unchristian.
(Just to remind you most of these children came into our care after losing their dear ones due to HIV Aids,attacks,accidents , suicide, committal ordomestic violence etc through the hands of local council leaders or police).
Do you feel, that God can use you to support and guide my visit to your country to physically share my visionwith any group, your church or friends? I am available at your point recommendation. This vision of GLH was birthed from my personal experience as an orphan, lived in an orphanage, supported by catholic priest, Joseph, graduating as teacher in 2007. So much has happened since then: we nearly went bankrupt but since then, with enormous support from many, have gone from strength to strength. We have so, so much to be grateful for

Thank you for encouraging me monthly. You have clearly builta wall for these children
Ezekiel 22:30
I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.
