December Update!

Board Members Visit for the Holiday!

Five of the nine board members (Heidi, Tomasz, Monika, Brandi and Ellie) were able to visit the children over the holiday and they had an amazing time!

Giving Back - The Slums of Masese

Many of our children grew up in the slums of Masese. Over the holiday they returned to the slums and gave away clothes they no longer needed. The Johnson family also donated brand new "pillow case" dresses that Ellie brought over and passed out. The children in the slums were grateful and our kids are learned about the importance of giving back.

Christmas Stockings

Thank you for making and stuffing stockings for our children! They were SO excited to receive them! You made their Christmas!!!








An extra special thank you goes to the sponsor family who put together craft kits for the kids so that we could decorate their home. The kids loved it!







Christmas in the Village

Doctor Mufumba generously invited our children to his village to celebrate Christmas. It was a muddy, rainy day, but the children still had a great time eating mountains of food and dancing. Thank you Doctor!

Current Programs

Over the holiday Brandi has been teaching the children about different career opportunities. In January she will begin teaching "It's a Small World" lessons, which have been put together by supporters of PFP to teach the kids about places around the world.

Here are some pictures of the law enforcement lesson activity. Haha :)

Brandi has also been doing yoga with the children at 8 a.m. every morning. They love it!
One of our youngest boys, Ochola, likes to end his practice by saying, "Mamastay" instead of Namaste. It's priceless!
