Winfield native helping families in Uganda

It’s not uncommon for people to knock at the gate of the home asking for money to allow a child to attend school or receive medical care or food.

“We see children and old people with significant medical problems needing care beyond what a nurse can provide. We see children with no food, no clothing, no adult assistance.” Mitchell is grateful for the help she’s received from family members, friends and the Christ Community congregation.

“Last month I ran into a young girl who was moved from her village to take care of her grandmother. As a result she has not attended school in over a year,” she said. “The grandmother and this girl have no money and live off food she can gather from a neighbor’s field or food passersby give her.”
