Global Care's new program

Tom washing the children's hands before lunch

Global Care in Soroti is starting a new program working with children from the area who have physical or mental handicaps.  Handicapped or disabled people in Soroti and probably all of Uganda are invisible for the most part.  Life is hard enough here already and if you are physically handicapped it can be overwhelmingly hard.  Simple things are not so simple when absolutely nothing is handicapped accessible.  Also there are few  if any programs designed to assist people with disabilities.  Global Care has recently launched a program to seek out and help these children that are invisible many.  So every Tuesday and Saturday a vehicle drives around Soroti town and even makes some trips to the nearby villages to pick up children and bring them to Global Care for a day of games, food, playing with others, interacting with other children and adults, being served, treated well, and cared for.  Yesterday we got to spend just a little while at the gazebo with all of the children.  The staff has their hands full with all the children, but the girls were more than happy to come and help and even the cook's children came and played and helped the kids.  Silas was loving all the children and the noises of the toys.  I hope we can be a part of this wonderful ministry.  I also pray God will instil in the heart of Silas a love and desire to serve and love others as he sees it being done weekly here at Global Care.
