AMAZING support at 2016 Bread & Soup lenten dinners!
By Naomi Corera, March 22, 2016
The funds collected from the three 2016 Bread and Soup suppers will be used for:
- Empowerment for one mother in Kenya: Ann, a mother of five, has been presented with a long-awaited cow.
- Tuition for two university students in Uganda: Bridget, a vocational school student in Fort Portal, Uganda, for her studies to be a midwife; and Andrew, who is pursuing an education degree at the Mountains of the Moon Catholic University in Fort Portal Uganda.
- More construction for finishing the girls dormitory attached to our John Patrick Secondary School in Kamwenge, Uganda (more funds are still needed to complete the full structure).
We are so grateful to all those who attended our simple, truly Lenten suppers. Each year we know we face the tough competition of the fish fries from neighboring churches, but God always provides for us! Have a Blessed Holy week.

With help from 2016 Bread and Soup supporters, Bridget is continuing her vocational studies to be a midwife in Fort Portal, Uganda.
Also with help from this year’s generous Bread and Soup attendees, Andrew is completing his education degree in Uganda.
We are so grateful to everyone who attended this year’s Bread and Soup suppers, and also to everyone who helped! You did an amazing job each week! It takes many hands to set-up the hall and get the bread and soup ready in the kitchen.
