What do You Hope For? What do You Dream?

Remember when you were a child, and anything was possible? You had plans to fly to the moon, to score the winning goal, to travel far, to be heard.

Most of us did not go to the moon or score the winning goal, but we never feared that we would lack anything we really needed. Somehow we knew there would be food, shelter, and some way to make it through. But for many children in Uganda, this is not the case.

These children find shelter where they can, wonder where their next meal will come from, and hope desperately for school fees. The search for school fees is so intense that children sometimes put themselves at risk for them. They know an education is essential if they are to escape poverty.

The Outreach to Unfortunate Children’s Hurts (TOUCH) was founded to provide hope - in the form of food, education, love, and eventually, shelter as well. The children here receive a meal each day. They attend classes at the temporary facilities located at Calvary Temple Worship Centre in Kampala.

They have hopes and dreams - to be doctors, accountants, soccer stars, singers, pastors, teachers, artists, pilots, and even President of Uganda!
Who gave you the idea that you could do great things? Who encouraged you on the way? Who prayed for you?

Sara Sebyala and the teachers at TOUCH teach, feed, clothe and encourage these children daily. They pray with them and over them; but caring for nearly 400 children is no small task. Friends are needed to partner with Sara so the children’s needs can be met.

My dream is to see every TOUCH child sponsored. This means there will be food enough for three meals a day. There will be clothes and shoes. There will be teachers and books and pencils and paper. The children will know someone cares enough to see that they get the education they need. They will be encouraged and strengthened through your letters, financial support and prayers.

Will you be a Friend of TOUCH? 
Will you offer hope for a child to reach for his or her dream?
