June Update

Back to School

The holiday is over and our kids are back at boarding school. Their next break will begin July 26th. 




Birthday Party

Last month we mentioned that an awesome little girl named Jessica held a birthday fundraiser at her own birthday party. She raised $200,000 shillings which will cover the cost of a swimming trip and birthday party for all of our 45 PFP kids! Here are photos of the party. The kids had a blast! Thank you again Jessica!

We'd also like to thank Lainey again for sending school and craft supplies for the kids! They loved their birthday gifts!


Masese

Some of our children have living relatives. We believe it's important to maintain family and cultural ties. The children went to visit some of their relatives over the last holiday.

Another Reunion

One of our PFP kids, Wafula, has a sister, Grace, who lives in a nearby care center. Dr. Mufumba arranged a visit for the two of them and it was a great reunion.



Sponsorship Opportunity

Paul, the boy who won the heart of the executive director of PFP, Heidi, years ago and started this all is in need of a half sponsor. Please let us know if you or someone you know would be interested in sponsoring this inspiring young man!

Sponsorship is $65 per month for a half sponsor. Sponsorship covers boarding school fees, clothes, food, medical (general, dental, mental), and much more.

Annual Meeting


Each year PFP hosts an annual in-person meeting (monthly meetings are via Skype). This year we are meeting in Invermere, B.C. We will review and add to our 5 year strategic plan and assess the organization as a whole. We are really looking forward to it!
