October News
We received great news from Rev. Martin Odi and Silver who wrote that the school construction has been going very well. The construction manager Patrick Olupot recovered from his motorbike injuries, and the building will have the roof on by the end of the month! Praise God! This is much faster than expected, so we anticipate that finishing work will be starting early next year, if not sooner. Pray that we can raise funds for the electrical work, plumbing, heavy metal doors, flooring, and interior walls.
Silver, who had a serious medical problem, is recovering, with the help of medication. He was missing
his computer adapter, which prevented his communicating with us sooner.
The orphans are making progress in school, which began in September when we sent money to cover their school fees. Your prayers are needed especially for one of the girls, Among Martha, who is receiving special counseling. Currently we are supporting 11 orphans. Silver and the team devote
countless volunteer hours to tend to their physical, emotional and spiritual welfare. Pray for God’s grace and wisdom upon them all.

Presentation to Chinese Presbyterian, Oakland
The U.S. Mission team from CCUMC has been on the presentation circuit, and they recently met with their neighbors down the street in Oakland Chinatown. About a dozen people were there to share in the journey once again. The team never gets tired of telling YCVM’s story!
A light lunch was served afterwards. The team wants to thank the Women’s Group for inviting us to speak.
The Roof is going up!
The latest word from Kumi is that the boarding school roof will be completed this week. Unfortunately, Silver’s laptop AC adapter broke, which prevented him from sending photos of the progress. Uganda’s electrical infrastructure causes frequent problems with computers and laptops, and power supplies and AC adapters are very susceptible to surges and low-quality power. If anyone has a laptop to donate to YCVM, Silver will put it to good use!
