February Update

Back to School

The kids are back in school after a long holiday. They had such a great break, but are glad to return to their studies. During the break they had supplemental education including a reading program, sports program and CPR/First AID, fire safety, helmet safety and sex education classes. In addition they did arts and crafts and practiced debating. Needless to say we kept them busy!

Current Sponsorship Opportunity

We would like to bring in 12 needy more children to our PFP home, but we need sponsors! Sponsorship is $125 (full) or $65 (partial) per month and covers school fees, school boarding, healthcare, dental care, clothing, toiletries and more. The children we would like to bring in are orphaned and are in desperate need of a loving environment, nourishment, an education and hope. We can give them that! Can't we? Contact hope@peaceforpaulfoundation.org if you can help!

Day Trip to Didi's World & Coca Cola Plant

Volunteer Adam spent three weeks with the PFP kids. We would like to thank him for his efforts and for generously sponsoring a trip for ALL of the children to go to the theme park Didi's World and the Coca Cola plant! They had a blast!

NEW Peace for Paul Junior Program

Thanks to our generous new sponsors we have launched the PFP Junior Program! Our new program will allow us to help a larger number of needy Ugandan children obtain an education. The children who benefit from our PFP Junior Program live in our neighborhood and are unable to afford school fees, uniform fees and school supplies. Because they have families to look after them, these children will not be living in our home. Rather, these children will live with their families and be sponsored through PFP for education costs only.

Happy Birthday Lainey!

Lainey is an eight year old from Washington with a BIG heart. For her birthday she decided that she didn't need anymore toys and asked that her friends bring gifts for the PFP kids instead! We are so grateful! She is an example to all of us.

NEW PFP Junior Program!

The year is already off to a great start for PFP! We are excited to announce our new program that will allow us to help a larger number of needy Ugandan children obtain an education. The children who benefit from our PFP Junior Program live in our neighborhood and are unable to afford school fees, uniform fees and school supplies. Because they have families to look after them, these children will not be living in our home. Rather, these children will live with their families and be sponsored through PFP for education costs only.

At $31/month you can sponsor a child for a FULL SCHOOL YEAR. Imagine the difference that will make! Please consider sponsoring one of our new kids. Contact us at hope@peaceforpaulfoundation.org if you have any questions regarding this opportunity.

Family Day

One of our objectives in PFP is to maintain family relationships when possible. We invited living relatives of our PFP children to visit Hope Home for a meal and performance by the children.

A Special Thank You

The board of directors wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank Lisa McIntosh, PFP's Board Chair, for heading the auction fundraiser again this year. She did an incredible job and to give you a small idea of what this takes, she sent and replied to over 600 emails for the auction alone!

Amphy: Thank you Lisa for all of the things you have done and have been doing for our PFP kids! You are one of a kind!!!

Monika: Lisa, I truly appreciate the hard work you do for PFP, especially putting together the auction every year! We're so lucky to have you!

Susan: Lisa, your heart and commitment are huge blessings to the PFP family! Our children are so fortunate to have you in their corner. Thanks for your tireless work and for helping them make dreams come true! :-)

Heidi: We are so grateful for the work you put into the auction this year. What a huge job! You show your love for our children in so many wonderful ways!

Brandi: A huge thanks for all your hard work this year and every year Lisa! I can already see the smiles on the faces of our kids happily schooling for their future thanks to all of your efforts!

Tomasz: Thank you for your hard work in pulling off another successful auction fundraiser!

Ellie: Lisa, you are a light in the lives of our 45 children. Your passion for service makes it possible for us to care for them at a higher level. Thank you for your constant efforts on their behalf and also for being such a beautiful person. I am proud to know you.
