On our way to Uganda March 31, 2011
MISSION TRIP 2011 - SPRINGBREAK
Date: March 31st - April 10th, 2011
Where: Rebuilding lives in Northern Uganda one village at a time!!!!
Who: Help us take action to restore stability to the lives of thousands of Ugandans! The work will require lots of manual labor. However, your service and support will strengthen the faith and hope of these poor families and offer a powerful incentive to persevere.
Needs: During the 20-year rebel war waged by the Lord’s Resistance Army in northern Uganda, hundreds of thousands of families were displaced from their villages. They’ve had to relocate to Internally Displaced Person’s Camps (refugee camps) in the town of Gulu. Since the 2006 peace process, many have returned to their villages but are struggling to start over. They lack important resources that are necessary to rebuild their lives including: basic community infrastructure and viable economic opportunities.
Activities & Services: Children’s Heritage Foundation is committed to helping restore stability to the lives of returning residents in a targeted number of villages. We will follow families back to these villages and help them get back on their feet through our “Brick by Brick” rebuilding program. We will work in partnership with local pastors, former child soldiers and recovering abductees to build houses, schools, churches, community centers, latrines, hand-washing stations, trash pits and sports and recreation facilities. We will also train community members in good sanitation and hygiene practices to prevent outbreaks of illnesses and diseases.
Victor’s Junior Christian School: Spend time serving the orphans and other children at Victor’s School and orphanage.
