This Almsgiving Monday I want to recommend to you for your financial support the work of Mercy for Life<\/a>, conducted by a little community of saints in Uganda. I\u2019ve boosted them in the past and youse guys have helped them. But they can always use more help. Dennis Donovan writes<\/p>\n

Fausta Nalubega of Kampala, Uganda, organized a group of young Catholic volunteers like herself about seven years ago. They determine what the needs of the poor are in her area and try to satisfy them. The group is an abundance of volunteer workers, but for the things that require funding, Fausta turns for help to the USA. She just reported that thanks to your contributions, she and her associates were able to put another eleven children in the public schools in Kampala which cost $48 per term.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what word to use to describe the pictures of the kids that Fausta posts, but below is an example of a picture I like. I think the young girl is letting the young boy know that he has a hole in his sock. (The pictures are great).<\/p>\n

To enable children who have never been, to go to school in Uganda, or for another term, click the following link. Thank you.<\/p>\n

They also take care of the sick, of pregnant moms, of families, and anybody else in need. They are a lovely Catholic community that remind me so much of the Church of Acts.<\/p>\n
