Would You Like to Get Involved?

Would you like to join us in this project? There are several ways in which you can be involved.

1) Purchase a fleece blanket from us for $25. This blanket will be given to a mother/newborn at True Vine Clinic/Hospital or Tororo City Hospital. A portion of the $25 will be used by the Proverbs 14:31 Project to purchase the fleece material. We will make the blanket and get it to Uganda. The remainder of the $25 will be used toward the purchase of medical equipment, medicine, new bedding and paint, and any other neeeded items at the maternity wards in both hospitals.

2) Make a no-sew fleece blanket ( or 2 or 3, or ????) that we will deliver to the hospitals. The blanket only requires 2 yards of fleece material and can be completed in less than an hour. This would be a great project for a women's group at your church or for a group of friends that would like to get together and have a "no-sew" party!

3) Make a donation that will go directly toward much-needed medical equipment and medicine for the maternity wards. Some of the immediate needs at the Tororo City Hospital are: $1488.26 for electrical work to bring electricity from the generator to the maternity ward; approx $1,000.00 for a new delivery bed. The delivery bed they currently are using is so rickety that a woman actually fell off of it and she and her baby both died; $805.90 for plumbing work in the ward.

4) Pray that God would bless this project, that we would be able to provide the equipment and medicine so desperately needed. Pray that I and my daughter, Sarah, would be able to travel to Uganda with Hope 4 Kids International to do a "makeover" (painting, new bedding and decor) of the maternity wards at one or both hospitals.

If you have any questions or would like to speak with me further, please contact me via email at sharonsstewart@msn.com
