This building will be equipped with a kitchen, mess hall, library, toilets and guest quarters. The BEST part about the building is that it will allow us to bring TEN MORE CHILDREN into the PFP family!

September Update!

Smile!

After a visit to the dentist in August, we determined that both Lotuke Agnes and Mark needed dentures. Their teeth were damaged while living on the streets and in the slums. Look at their beautiful new smiles and their confidence shining through!



Little Natulei

Our poor little girl broke her arm, but Doctor Mufumba took very good care of her. Her arm was casted and amazingly, she's still smiling. We love you Natulei! Get well soon!

August Update!

Backpacks Arrived!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Susan, the secretary of Peace for Paul, visited the children during their August holiday and the children were thrilled to spend time with their auntie. She was kind enough to bring all of the backpacks from sponsors with her and the children were ecstatic to receive them! Thank you so much to all who sponsored a child's backpack! It was like Christmas in August for these 33 children!
