Concerns for Uganda...

Irregular Blogging..
Part of my irregular posting has to do with the role I play with Compassion International for the children, on the road am always in rural places where many donors', sponsors' and staffs' faithful prayers and support reach and transform communities physically. In advance, I will mention this; the next 2 months will be quite busy for me which implies less blogging! Oh how I will miss you all and blogging too...

Uganda Today...
Compassion international a child advocacy organization mission statement states that " In response to the great commission, compassion international exists an advocate for children, to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults." This is a focused and strategic direction, how I wish my country desired to move in this same direction.

Currently, in my personal opinion - Uganda is following right in the steps of Zimbabwe looking at the economic status. The prices of commodities, fuels talk about basic needs have all hiked almost to double, school tuition fees are sky rocketing. The other day while I was doing some shopping for my nephews my eyes went wide open at the sight of the price tags. Inflation season I guess!
During my home cell/bible study group last tuesday, [First Tuesdays of the month are always prayer Tuesdays] members suggested that we should pray particularly for children. Almost each of them has heard of an experience where a child was kidnapping in a shopping mall, an with serious cancer, many defilement and rape case. The children are all on attack.
On a graduation ceremony for a prominent theology school around Uganda, the guest of hour mentioned that a policy is being developed to scrab off religious education from the primary and secondary schools' curriculum. A big blow for many children!

Looking back in the past, all these occurrence were distinct. We the righteous can make a difference through reaching out to as many as we can and also making effort to remember as many as we can in our prayers.

Psalm 11:3
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?
