The equinox of the world at times brings time difference in different countries of the world. 

It's 5:09 AM of Tuesday here, i just had to do this earlier as God gave me enough time and energy to do it and so i couldn't deny doing it as its part of the service that I am entitled to perform for the best of Samaritan foundation orphanage children. 

It's a going back to school time dear ones, it's to take back our little beloved angels of Samaritan Foundation Orphanage back to school to adapt and be fed new knowledge for their brighter future. It's all about me and the staff but hoped it would work also in case the information is shared with the men and women of God to unite together and do the likewise on the making of the parable of good Samaritan. 

The hands that always come together to perform great works of blessing others with material things, or participate in bringing a smile shall always be blessed, join is today to support the go back to school program brothers and sisters and dear ones. 

I Am Mugerwa Mugerwa Isaac Shamiru in raising voices of the poor children and hopeless orphaned children for awareness of the world to think about them in any positive way. Ask me how to help in case you don't know the ways or ask mom Jane from New Jersey, or brother Paul from Nova Scotia Canada. 

Your hand on every program of Safo is highly welcomed and appreciated always. Thank you for the time you spent going through this message.

Attention, greetings to all the good citizens of this world. I would like to as well assure you all that here is Mukisa Geoffrey, he was born on 28/11/ 2007. He is having his schooling from one of the cheapest schools in our community known as Kavule primary school. 

      Geoffrey is just a very good friend of Safo children and Safo staff. His parents both of them went to heaven one by one and currently he is living with his grandmother who sells sweet banana, rotates maize and paraffin to earn a living for example to pay rent for their house, and other necessities of life.

      Mukisa is having his sister who is called Malita they both still little angels of God. We decided to start giving simple help to Mukisa who has been our friend and friend Safo children for quit sometime and his sister still she needs our positive response as well. 

      Mukisa and Malita who is not in this photo would love to have an adoptee mama or papa who can write to them letters, who can send them some gifts, and make some love for them to feel the same almost like other children in the world.

      This is more especially great when you're interested and you can get the reflection of the true story about Mukisa and Malita who is not in this photo. We feel for  them and I also met his grandmother whom I will be able to post her photo here to also bring you deeply closer to this storyline that Mukisa first told me about after asking him his autobiography as he could come to meet his friends called them Safo children.

All the way from Jina Uganda. 

In a world with strife, displaced peoples and a growing underclass mired in poverty and despair, Madagascar-the eighth poorest nation in the world-is experiencing modern-day miracle the tens of thousands of people are encountering the transformative power of love and work. All due in large part to the efforts of one man.

The oldest of eight children, Pedro Opeka was born in a suburb of Buenos Aires in 1948. His parents had immigrated to Argentina from Slovenia just a few months before in order to escape Tito’s brutal purge of those who resisted the communist take-over. Luis, Pedro’s father, instilled in the young boy to love of God, people, freedom and hard work, introducing him into the masonry trade at nine-years-of-age. By fourteen Pedro was a certified brick-layer-and by 17 had built his firstMapuche 3 home for the poor-in this case for the Mapuche Indians in the Andean mountains. Little did he know this was a foreshadowing of what would become, in large part, his life’s work.

Pious, academically gifted, and also an excellent soccer player, as a young teen Pedro wondered whether to pursue professional sports or the priesthood. The latter won out and entered seminary when he was fifteen. In 1968 he traveled to Europe, where he studied philosophy and theology in Slovenia and in France, and spent two years as a missionary in Madagascar. He was ordained a priest in the Basilica of Luján in Argentina on September 25, 1975 and the next year was sent back to serve the people of Madagascar.

For nearly fifteen years the young priest ministered in a remote, southeast region of the island nation, teaching and pastoring, living among the people, cultivating rice to survive and playing soccer, eventually becoming a star on his home team. In all this, he very much became a man of the people.

In 1989, Father Opeka was sentenced to the Vincentian seminary located in the capital city of Antananarivo. Now in his 40s, it was there that God refocused his life and found his ultimate mission. “When I arrived,” he later wrote, “I could not shut my eyes to utter destitution. I saw the Garbage 31,000 children struggling for survival among the animals in the garbage dump … I was dumbstruck. I said to myself, ‘Here I could not just talk. I had to act! ‘”I went to meet them and promised,” Together we are going to get out of this mess! ”

With the help of some young people I had trained in his former parish, Father Opeka built a small home for children on the edge of a landfill. It was followed by second, and then another. Soon, a small village rose out of the debris. They named it Manantenasoa, Malagasy for “the hill of courage.”

Interested in improving the quality and permanence of the homes as well as creating jobs, Father Opeka next took advantage of the abundant stone and granite quarrydeposits around the villages. His team engineered several quarries as he began teaching the formerly unemployed how to lay brick, working alongside them as they built. Masonry took the place of wood and bright, beautiful homes began to dot the hillside. Next they fabricated a compost center near the dump, providing a source of fertilizer to grow crops as well as new jobs in the Building foundationsfarming sector. Streets followed as paving became another trade developed by the community. Embroidery workshops for women were developed and light manufacturing began. Carpenters, cabinet makers and other vocations followed. Primary and secondary schools and medical clinics were built and staffed. And the Gospel was preached in both word and deed. Father Opeka would eventually preside over masses with as many as 10,000 people participating.

City set on hillThrough all this, beauty was birthed from ashes. What was once a landscape of garbage, crude huts and despair has been transformed into a sprawling cluster of 18 villages with homes, schools, gardens, flowers and paved, clean streets. Thirty thousand people live and work in these new villages of hope. Approximately 10,000 children attending the 37 schools that have been established. And the “hill of courage” has grown into a small city christened Akamasoa, meaning “Good Friends” in the Malagasy language.Pedro

And there is one man-an ambassador of the One who is closer to all of us than even the dearest brother -who is the very best, earthly friend of them all

Many, many times during his years of teaching, Jesus told and retold this story of the prodigal son. This parable and the story of the good Samaritan were his favorite means of teaching the love of the Father and the neighborliness of man.  

"A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of cruel brigands, who robbed him, stripped him and beat him, and departing, left him half dead. Very soon, by chance, a certain priest was going down that way, and when he came upon the wounded man, seeing his sorry plight, he passed by on the other side of the road. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came along and saw the man, passed by on the other side. Now, about this time, a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed down to Jericho, came across this wounded man; and when he saw how he had been robbed and beaten, he was moved with compassion, and going over to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting the man upon his own beast, brought him here to the inn and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out some money and, giving it to the host, said: 'Take good care of my friend, and if the expense is more, when I come back again, I will repay you.'

Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?" And when the lawyer perceived that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, "He who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said, "Go and do likewise."
