... as of today, YCVM sponsors 11 orphans. Photos are on the website (ycvm.org), along with the boarding school construction. Funds are running low, so the children might have to pull out of their current schooling, until more money arrives. Same goes for the boarding school - construction will continue when there is money.
On other fronts, a piece of property near a lake might be purchased for a future Income Generating Activity (IGA). The vision is to construct a conference center with lodging, and make it available to outside groups. In any event, land will increase in value, so it's a good investment.
Silver also reports that some of the children have been sick. Jessica had malaria, and has been treated. Helen was also sick on April 3rd, while she was at school. She is receiving treatment while staying at Grace Among's house. Mary had a swollen leg and she was treated at school. Abeja Alice also had a problem with her kidneys, and Sheila is ever weak. They need your prayers urgently!
Youth and Child Visionary Ministries is a local Christian effort to care for orphan children of Kumi in Eastern Uganda. The vision is to establish a self-sustaining boarding school. Silver Omakenyi is the director of YCVM. Silver, who is also an orphan, is currently caring for 11 younger orphans on his own. YCVM is supported by the fundraising efforts of Chinese Community United Methodist Church in Oakland, CA. More funds are needed to complete the Boarding School construction and establish income-generating activites to achieve its self-sustaining goal. We need your support!
