Shop Funding for India and Africa.

We recently send funding from the online-shop to our contact, Paul Rajan, in India. The funding from the shop destined for "Pupils Education" was used by Paul to buy the equipment shown below.

Many thanks for making this possible!

Paul Rajan (director of the Christian Hope India orphanages) has sent us the attached video. It is of their Christmas party. Do watch it as the children clearly enjoyed the party!

Kijjabwemi Container

The container for Kijjabwemi has now arrived at the School

We were concerned when it was impounded in Mombassa (and we were given a $500 "fine"), but thankful that the hold-up was only temporary. Now that it has arrived we have the "happiest children in Uganda" according to Pastor Eriab.

The photos to the right show the "Ray of Hope" sponsored children having a party at the school once the container was opened.

They are wearing the bright red T-Shirts donated by Leukaemia Research.

Many thanks to them and to the many others who contributed to the contents of the container and to the cost of shipping.
