November 2019 Issue

Senior Snapshot

Hello! Greetings from snowy Colorado and welcome to our November issue of ROTOM's Senior Snapshot. The earlier sunsets and cooler weather remind us that the holiday season is here with all its fanfare and celebration. However,  it is also a season that  many experience with loneliness and grief; especially those senior adults who will spend the holidays without a spouse, family or friends. We want to remind you to take time to consider those in your community who are alone this holiday season and how you might be a blessing to them. It can be as simple as a smile to a homeless man on the street or as generous as an invitation to Christmas dinner. That part is up to you, but we would love to hear about it!    The ROTOM USA team wishes each of you a Happy Thanksgiving, a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! If you enjoy the Senior Snapshot, please help us get the word out by sharing this email with your friends. Thank you for your continued support and faithfulness to our senior friends in Uganda and Ethiopia.

These gatherings are highlights in the lives of our senior friends, far beyond a mere sharing of a meal. They are a giving, vital part of what keeps them going through their daily challenges. They are sacred.   Read More

A Home for Safina Granny Safina shared her story with ROTOM staff during a Journey for Change trip to Uganda. A small woman, yet big in personality, she greets each member of the team with a big smile and a warm hug; dressed in a traditional, pale yellow dress with bold floral print, and cropped gray hair, this spirited grandmother reflects on how when first introduced to ROTOM she had just recently been thrown out of a rental with all her belongings.    Read More
