To friends and family and to the international community:-  I would like to introduce you all to one of our UGANDA Orphanages, MYDA - an organzation directed by Wandira Ramathan.  We have been working with MYDA for some months now, providing basic needs such as water, food, shirts, and a few other items too such as a mattress for their little disabled child.  Paul Kemp,, of Nova Scotia, saw what we were doing here and has very kindly set up this Web Page to invite the International Community who have been wanting to help out at Grass Roots level, but have been unsure as to know where to start. 

My desire was to feed and clothe needy orphans, and for 100% of  our donations to reach the children.  And would this be too much to ask?  I really didn't think so.  So I decided to contact Wandira myself.  And this is exactly what we have achieved.  I am looking at another monthly food donation of NZD100.00 to feed 42 children.  Here is the breakdown.  Posh (Corn Maize) 100kgs NZD47.00, Beans 40kgs is NZD44.00 -total NZD91.00 plus the fee that I have to allow for is $5.00, the rest is exchange rate variations to NZD100.00 and with this amount, we always seem to have enough.   

Sometimes we have enough to buy onions and tomatos.  Wandira provides them with shelter, milk and when it's not too dry vegetables.  The currency in Uganda is UGX or Ugandan Shillings.  Wandira always sends me photos of the purchases with the children and he also sends me receipts.  WANDIRA, it has been a real pleasure to work with you young man, taking care of these little ones.  I herein invite our Human Race family to share in our joy.  MOM (MY ORPHAN MINISTRY) is now going public because together we can achieve great things.
