Tragedy takes on many forms. Over the years I’ve heard a lot of different stories about how children become orphans. Whether it’s by disease, abuse, or just by sheer accident, one thing is still the same: in an instant, a child that once had the security of a family is suddenly all alone.  One woman told me a tragic story that is actually pretty common. You can watch her share it in a video here. She told me about how she fled her village in the middle of the night as gunfire popped all around her, and flames lit up Orphans and Widows

Moses is 14 years old and calls the Buloba Kinship Project in Uganda “home”. Like most of the precious children your gifts are serving, his story has a tragic beginning. Moses’s mother was HIV positive and his father left the family after discovering her diagnosis. He was only three years old when his dad split. A few years later, Moses got cerebral malaria and nearly died. He lost much of his hearing and it was feared he would be permanently paralyzed. His mother, too ill herself to take care of him, reached out to Buloba Kinship Project to help her Orphans

Mary is seven years old, but she looks four, and she has known enough heartache for a lifetime. Born in a slum to parents who begged, stole, drank, and did drugs, Mary’s life didn’t start with much promise. Her father was arrested and beaten by the police to the point that he was crippled and stranded on the street. Her mother got AIDS as a result of their dangerous lifestyle, and died. Mary was left with her poor grandfather, who was unable to provide for her. In fact, so far, no one had been able to provide for Mary.   Mary Orphan Rescue

And on Wednesday, October 16th, one of those basics will stand front and center on the world stage. Because October 16th is World Orphan Rescue
