My brother is organizing a fundraiser for this school in Uganda. Please donate if you can. He and his wife are planning a trip in the near future to visit the school and I hope to get some of the stories of the children he meets. This go fund me was posted a few days ago.

Please Help…before The Goshen Children’s Care and School is closed down…maybe forever!

It’s a distressing story. Goshen is located in Seeta, Uganda, near Kampala. The school has been operating out of a rental home for several years. However, just in the last month the local government decided the school may no longer operate from a house. It must operate from a “school structure”. Godfrey, the founder and director of Goshen, had a quick solution. With the property owner’s permission, he and his small team built a 3-room “school structure” at their current location. The total cost was just $1700, which was donated by a church in the US. Amazing! They built that structure in just 2 weeks! Double Amazing!

The very next week after completion, the property owner informed Godfrey that he was selling the property! The school must close! This is very cruel to the 20-25 children from this severely impoverished area. Without the Goshen school, those children will no longer continue their education. The families just can’t afford even a few dollars for the minimal tuition.

However a true blessing is available! A vacant lot right across the street from the current school is for sale. Godfrey can buy this property and build another school very inexpensively. The whole project is approximately $15,000.

There is urgency! The new school term starts in early March. If the school is not built by then, the parents may lose faith, and the children probably may not return. In this impoverished town, education is the only way to find opportunities.

Please donate right now! $20, $50, $100

Any amount will help!

Here’s a quote (in broken English) from the director, Godfrey.

“This idea for the academy I had it 7 yrs back. By faith I decided to implement it. I have 5 volunteers who help me. This academy is free, When the youth come we feed them with breakfast and lunch and also print them materials.This week we will start skills session where we will teach them computer skills, art and craft skills and music. Though I don’t have the materials I will use what is available, am grateful that families are giving me youth. Yesterday there are families who brought 10 youths, and my heart was where are they going to sit, what about food, and I said Holy Spirit take control, continue praying for us thank you so much”
