School time Again

Its' coming to 3weeks now since students and pupils started School both Primary and Secondary School. Joy filled ours hearts and the Children seeing most of our Children successfully passed their Exams with flying colours in the year 2011 for Primary and Secondary after their results were released a week ago.The most interesting part of it is that six Children from Home Again got vacancies from Nyakasura Secondary School in Fort Portal town and today they were all happy setting off for School and ready to join Senior One.
We want to say thank you all, the partners and sponsors of some of the children, for all the prayers and support given to us and the children. On the same  note as an organisation, its our felt desire and ask all friends and partners for prayer requests to the children who do not have sponsors and due to the financial/global crisis we have been struggling all through and we really thank God for his grace and mercy that he has seen us up to this point.

We had fellowship with them, some from Polland led by Peter, a team from Global Support Mission (GSM) led by Travis on Monday morning.We really thank God for the families and our children from Home Again for the successful Court ruling that was done on Tuesday in Fort portal and were granted Legal Guardianship from God fearing and Loving parents.

Happy birthday Bringing Hope to the Family!

We recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of Bringing Hope to the Family.  Ten years ago Faith Kunihira followed the Lord's call to start this ministry.  It is astonishing to see how far God has taken this ministry in such a short amount of time.

We want to continue operating as the Lord leads us.  And, we can't wait to see where we will be in another 10 years!   We want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey in one way or another.  It is exciting to see how God uses people from all over the world to accomplish his will.

Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to the Bringing Hope to the Family Blog!  With this blog we want to keep you informed on what is happening within Bringing Hope's organization and our surrounding community.

For our first blog we would like to highlight out recent trip to Jinja.  Four of our staff members along with Chris and Katie (Global Support Mission) visited 3 orphanages to see how we could better facilitate HomeAgain.  Each of the 3 orphanages were ran differently which gave us a wide spectrum to choose from.  We gathered different ideas from all of them and brought them back to Kaihura.

After several staff meetings we have decided which direction we want to head in.  We have already started implementing a few of these ideas.  Our desire is that HomeAgain will be one of the premier orphanages in Western uganda.  We want to provide these children with a safe and godly environment to grow up in.

We will keep you posted on our progress as we go along.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.  We hope that you will decide to follow our blog and tell others about us.

Thank you

BHTF
