responsibilities for his mother and 4 sisters. There were no funds for school for any of them.

 

As a preteen Rogers received a sponsor through HUM. He studied hard and became a very good student so we were able to send him to Uganda Christian University where he studied to become a social worker. He attended AWANA and church regularly and received Jesus as his personal savior as a youth. He also began to show many leadership qualities.  

 

Today Rogers is the school social worker for our Genesis Primary School. He builds relationships with the families of our students, both sponsored or other community children, in order to offer encouragement and accountability. He looks after the welfare of all of the school children by visiting their homes and ensuring they are eating, attending school and staying healthy. He offers intervention to families in crisis and accountability where needed. Mostly, he can share God's love and show how Genesis is different and cares about each and every child that attends.

David - our first meeting

-year-old David was abandoned by his mother to his step-grandmother who chained him to a log every day for the next 4 years while she went to work. She fed him little to keep the area clean and gave him no love. He could not speak. Earlier this year, Rogers discovered the little boy and saw his desperate situation. With the help of a special friend of the ministry we were able to take little David to a residential

malnutrition center where he is being nursed to health as well as receiving cognitive and emotional rehabilitation. We already have sponsors lined up to help David once he is healthy.
