It was a mixture of joy,sorrow and tears as these girls
interacted with their father.
====================
Last Friday the prayer of two young girls to meet
their father was answered.
The father of Christine now aged 9 and Proscovia aged 13 was imprisoned
when they were still toddlers-so they never got to know what had
happened to their dad. Their mothers (they are born of different
moms) found other men and dumped them at a relatives’ home
who in turn dumped them at the gate of an orphanage-they do not
know any of their relatives.
Last December, their father on death row in Jinja prison gave us
possible clues of where we could find these children, so the search
began. Through prayers and persistence, these little girls were
able to meet and talk with their father for the first time during
our visit to Jinja prison last Friday. It was a mixture of joy,sorrow
and tears as these girls interacted with their father.
The orphanage has since become their home, when other children
go back home during holidays, Christine and Scovia have no where
to go, so they stay at the orphanage.
In the picture Christine (in black &white blouse) and Scovia
(wearing a yellow sweater) are standing with the matron of the orphanage
. In another picture Mrs Ssuubi who led the team that visited, stands
with other volunteers.
The main aim of our visit was to give food supplements
to prisoners living with HIV/AIDS ,which they received gladly.The
soya rich food stuffs have improved the health of the inmates
