With 4 more weeks left

I am remaining with few more weeks till our baby will be born.I am so excited about it, but still hard to believe that soon I am going to be a mother. Last week went for scan, doctor says baby is doing well.The problem is that the cord is on baby's neck but I believe what can't be seen by human being it can bee seen by our Creator .God is able to change this "For God everything is possible" Mark 10;27

Right now I am in Kampala in Father's House, thanks God  for this place.It is not too far from here to the hospital.Not like from Keynjojo.Also people here are taking good care of me.Little Mark (3)keep asking when baby Hania is coming out.He can't wait to give her a  hug an
d play together with her.I don't know if he really understand that she will be to small to play.Anyway it is so  sweet from him.
Henry is right now in Kenya, trying to work on his passport etc. Let's keep him in your prayers .Hoping he will be done in few days and be back in Uganda soon.
Also taking this opportunity I want to give thanks to all of you who stand with us in prayer and any kind of support. God really takes good care of us through you. May God continue to pour his blessing on you and your families.
lot's of love
from M&H Kalume

Third trimester

From now on still two more months to go till baby comes into this World. Each day I don't know what to expect. The nights are very hard to sleep, hard to find comfortable position, the hotness is killing me, having problem with breathing myself. The Doctor is far away, over 250 km away from where we stay. Thanks God for people in Fathers House who offered place to stay during this time. On Monday going to Kampala for Doctor's appointment then remaining there till delivery.

So far received so many clothes for the baby, though the baby is still in my tummy but God really cares, showing us His abundant love.

Last Saturday were very scared.None of us knew what was happening. I never felt such pain, first thought I was going into the labor. God knew it wasn't time yet for that. Thanks God to listen to our call -"He hears us whenever we call to Him..." 1 John 5.15

I ask you my dear friends please don't stop  praying for us, for God's protection over the baby and us as a family, also remember to pray for provision. The bill in the Hospital is high every time I go for check up. The cost of delivering the baby goes from 600$ to 1000$ depends of the condition of the baby in mummy's tummy. More complication then the bill is bigger. But  I believe "whenever two of us on earth agree about anything we pray for,it will be done by our Father in heaven"Matthew 18;19 Thank you all for your prayers, love and support.We love you all, hoping you are doing well. 

Looking forward to introduce to you our little one soon:)

Art work in Kaihura

One of the day we received parcel where we found some Madeline in it.I remember how fun I had when I was little kid. Playing with it, making different shapes of animals. Straight awayI got an idea of using it and do some activity with some of the kids here.

We drew different pictures on the paper then instead of coloring them with the crayons we used this Madeline to fill the pictures. Kids seemed to be enjoying, more kids were willing to join us, only that myself got a bit tired. Moving with the pregnancy in this hotness with a big belly is not easy. The weather makes me tired very often. But though not many kids I could take at this time we still enjoyed and learn new things. Hopefully will be back there other day. The children are very smart and happy to learn new things every day. So I want to give big thanks to the person who sent us this kind of gift. God bless you abundantly.

Queen Elizabeth- Safari

We wanna thanks for the opportunity of taking some of the children for Safari. All of them were for the  first time on trip like this. They never went out so far, had much fun like they had during the trip on Safari.  A shame, we could not take all of them but even those few who were able to go were blessed very much by you.
At school they hear about elephants, lions, other wild animals but that day they were able to see them in real with their own eyes. What's a wonderful experience. There is possibility that most of them were for the first time sited on the car, eating sandwiches with cheese, nuttela, etc. Few kids were not sure what to do with it so they hided them in their bags. I am not sure why?
In all I am thankful for this chance and I guarantee this trip will remain in their memories for long period of time. God bless you.

Shoes

This month, we were able to buy more shoes for the children. Every time we go to share those shoes no matter if they are fitting them or not, each kid is very happy thinking probably from Today no more gigers on my feet. You can see the smiles on their little faces.Thank you so much for you support and thoughtfulness.

Work continues

End of January received group of polish voluntaries who came to Keynjojo. They will be with us for few weeks before they go back homes. We are very happy to have them around. They are very lovely people, ready to give themselves to the community. Bedsides that, we all have much fun together. 

 

From the day they arrived, they started working hard.Every day have been going to other village where they worked in the school, to make sure that before holiday ends, the school will be ready for the children to move back in. I am impressed that, just few days before the academic year starts they managed to put things in order, were done with painting etc. 

After hard work at school, some of them managed and visited children in one of the children homes,Home again.The kids had much fun with them, playing with balloons, sharing clothes, drawing pictures. Much joy was seen on faces of the little ones. Great blessing to each of them. Thank you guys for your work.
