1) Come to tonight’s information meeting for the July trip to Uganda to build beds for two orphanages. Now, this won’t be anywhere near the area I’ve been telling you about, but some of the children who’ve managed to flee from Kony are being sent to orphanages around the country, so it’s likely we’ll have the opportunity to share healing and hope and love with these, and so many other, children.
2) Attend tonights screening of Invisible Children’s, “The Rescue of Joseph Kony’s child soldiers” to educate yourself and see how you can get involved. It’s easier than you think. And, more important than you can even imagine. 7 pm–Brentwood Baptist Church Room 1150a.
3) You have an opportunity, right now, to contribute financially toward mattresses, blankets and mosquito nettings for the former child soldiers who have recently had their huts burnt in the refugee camps and are now waiting to have safe shelter in a new location where they will be loved and nurtured.
Sweet Sleep is partnering with Village of Hope, Uganda to provide mattresses, blankets and mosquito netting for these sweet orphans. The children often share mattresses due to space, so the immediate need is only for 40 sets of bedding. Can you help provide for these children?
To provide these items, go to www.sweetsleep.org/donate and put “Gulu” in the comments box or mail your check, payable to Sweet Sleep, to PO Box 157, Brentwood, TN 37024, and put “Gulu” in the memo line.
