Thank you all so much for your hearts for the staff and children at Gateway school and for your burden for them! Thank you for pouring into the school over the years through prayer and financial support!
I wanted to ask you all to pray. I got word yesterday regarding a major prayer need. For context as you read the email: Pastor Ernest and Mama Catherine, Pastor is the director of the school, are an incredible couple who have been married for 50 years and have for countless years taken in over 200 children to their home. They are incredible souls. Ava Weeks is a friend of mine and a friend of His Love and Sonshine's and an American missionary in Uganda. Pastor Ernest and Mama Catherine were only able to tell Ava Weeks about the situation yesterday as they were out of power and were not able to communicate with people over email. Pastor told Ava Weeks, a personal friend and friend of His Love and Sonshine's, and she emailed me to let me know of what happened. The situation: The mother, Teddy Suubi, of two of the children, Eden and Dorcus, who are sponsored at Gateway Nursery and School was in an accident on Monday and is in the hospital. Charles, our child sponsorship coordinator, found out what happened to the mother through Pastor Ernest, the director of the school. Charles said, "...The mother of our sponsored children, she could go to the clinic every morning, and her main job is in this clinic. She is a cleaner and she got in an accident on a boda boda (is like an Uber drive but you ride on a motorcycle) when she was going to her place in Entebbe road. And she fell on the boda boda and her head got affected." Charles also shared the update from Pastor Ernest today sharing that, "The doctors found a small blood flow in her brain and today she was able to sit up and eat breakfast." Due to this, the children were left at home without food and so amazing Pastor went and picked 5 of her 8 children up yesterday. Charles is going to go to the home of the children where the other three children are staying since they are old enough. Charles informed me through the principal of the school that the Pastor and Mama will need food and other items to care for the children. They will have the children stay with them until their mother gets better. His Love and SONshine is providing funds for Charles to pick up the items they need to care for the children and Charles will have a truck bring the item to Pastor and Mama's home. We will provide: rice, sugar, posho (like a cornmeal porridge), a box of soap, cooking oil, vaseline, toothpaste, salt, and beans.

Rachel GuyWhen Rachel Guy was in elementary school, she was fascinated by children in African countries; her heart was particularly drawn to children who had been orphaned. At the age of twelve, the country of Uganda became the focus of Rachel’s interest and concern when a close family friend, Nancy Wellham, invited her to join her on a mission’s trip there. It was on this trip that Rachel visited Gateway Nursery and Primary school and fell in love with the people there. Four years ago, Rachel was shocked when she was invited to start a ministry for the school. With humility and gratitude, she said, “Yes” to this unlikely adventure with God. Archives
