Our activity can be summed up as: "Taking good news to the poor and Practical help to people in need."
This blog is coming from the field office in Uganda where we are implementing a number of projects as part of the re-development in Northern Uganda following the 20 year war with the Lord's Resistance Army. LightForce International has been extremely busy, first during the emergency as 1.6million people were displaced from their homes to live in camps, then during resettlement as they returned home trusting that the fragile peace agreements would hold and now in the process of re-development.
Our projects vary depending where we are working:
Children's Camps in Albania and Serbia
Education in Kenya & Uganda
Feeding street children in India
Construction on schools, health centres and teachers houses in Uganda
Early Childhood Development , Children with Special Needs, Child Protection, Sponsoring medical care........
One of our team found young Anyess the other day...3yrs old and weighing just 3kg. Cared for by an aged grandmother with a broken leg. Both were very dirty, living on the floor of a hut with nothing to eat. Just dirty, torn blankets to lay on. Because of her broken leg grandmother could only move by crawling. We were able to ensure Anyess received medical attention and therapeutic feeding and grandma got treatment for her broken leg. We can happily report that they are both much improved.
