Educate and support 60 orphans in Kampala

August 2026

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 2^nd and 3^rd 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.

 Dear Friends!

      Time flies and I hope you are well.  You will remember  my sharing of excellence in primary exams performance 15 students,  all passing well and excitement over the s4 results (7) (All qualified for certificates passing in grade 1) Quite interesting. We would wish them to continue but within our financial means. Three students  (Elisha, Patience and Flavia) did particularly well: the first two are sponsored and in school.  Flavia on a waiting list, though admitted to a nursing course (Praying for a sponsor). How about the others?  They would like to do some small courses like secretarial etc.  We have no answer to them but simply to say It’s beyond our financial ability.

     Let me tell you of one situation. “Joy”  is one of the s4 students who finished and had a dream to do nursing. She came and challenged me if I still remember her story and of course my reply was a big yes.  She asked to explain and I started  “You came here when you were 6 years and 7 months, it was Saturday at 3:26pm. some 11 years back. The local Councillor 1 of Kakanjo village zone mentioned to us that your father killed your mother one morning during their domestic violence , then ran away .This man had an older son called Joshua who sweettalked the father to meet him and, on meeting him, killed him.  Government arrests the boy for killing the father – Remember , this boy would be the guardian to Joy now but in prison and possibly very long sentence according to Ugandan laws on murder cases.  Joy asks further, “ok where are you sending me now? To marry or? “ Joy with her s4 results went and applied for nursing course and was allowed in but with no school fees – She is now with her admission moving church after church with her admission letter looking for who could help her to further her nursing course. In the process, she finds a man promising to help but on condition of sex exchange which she denied. So, story for Joy is pity but just an example of what is going on to the other 3. should you require specific stories kindly reach out but I pray that the Lord will speak with you on possible ways to support Joy though she did not get the highest results her faith challenges me and the entire GLH.   

God’s Love continues its direct support to 60 GLH children.  (There are a total of 204 in  GLS.  In 2025, we had 10 students GLH who sat for national Primary Leaving exams and passed very well subsequently all are on self-study programs at GLH Extension, photo attached. The 10 passed in the range of 6- 10 aggregates (Excellent pass) In Uganda’s education ‘’primary leaving examination’’ – 4 subjects are sat (English, maths, science and social studies).All GLH students leaving Primary passed in grade 1 but did not get schools outside GLH because we cannot afford fees. Last year 2025, we had Elisha sitting national exams (s.4) under private sponsorship but did better than all those who sat for the self-study program at GLH.  There is as saying that goes, “compare us after giving us equal opportunities!” This is not happening to all GLH students hence our regular appeals.  The 10 students who excelled for secondary level are now on self-study program which works but would be glad if all got into a better and well-resourced schools).
