Well it’s been a busy few months. We met in September to discuss a new funding partnership with New Hope Uganda Ministries. They’ve got a project called Kobwin Children’s Centre that we are really excited about! Check out the Kobwin page to find out more about it.

Also, if you are bored of traipsing the high street this year in search of Christmas presents that will be forgotten within a few weeks of the new year, or you want to get Christmas presents sent with a heart of compassion this year, then why not consider our good gifts and buy bricks for Kobwin Children’s Centre? For more information contact kobwin@heartofcompassion.org.uk to place an order or for more information.

Are you interested in selling the bricks for Kobwin as good gifts to your friends, people at work or church/other group? Get in touch and we’ll make sure you get plenty of cards.

We also supported Nick Law, a singer songwriter at St Thomas Crookes Sheffield who has produced a stunning album: Christus Victor. Nick is a keen supporter of Heart of Compassion Trust and gave us a spot at his recent album launch to talk about Heart of Compassion Trust and what we stand for. We love his music and highly recommend it for the bargain price of a tenner. Listen before you buy through www.nick-law.com.

Thank you for all your support, be it financial, prayer or simply encouragement. We couldn’t do it without our supporters.

We hope that you experience true peace and joy this Christmas.

Moyo Baptist Youth Association Oxen Project

Duncan — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:04:38 +0000

unding has been agreed for a project working with youth affected by the on-going conflict in the north of Uganda, teaching specifics regarding farming the land using Oxen and ploughs.

This is an important lesson for many young people, as for many, their entire lives have consisted of life in camps, where food has come through Aid organisations, and as such, have never learned the basics of farming – something that will be a requirement of survival as people move from the camps back to their villages.

Update:
Two oxen have been purchased for the project, along with a plough and components for it, and training has begun. Cultivation of the land is, however, yet to begin, due to delayed rains this season.
