The grandmother of Angela told the local area leader that her daughter had died and she was left with the children. That is how Probation and Social Welfare became involved with their case. Angela’s mother has relinquished her rights as their mother but she has come to visit on one occasion and expressed joy at Angela’s progress and hopes that one day she may be adopted by a loving couple.

Now Angela is our star pupil in second grade. She loves school and last term (there are 3 terms in one school year), Angela performed excellently. Out of a class of 66, she was number 5, finishing with an overall percentage of 92%. We know Angela will go very far. She is also encouraging her other brothers and sisters by helping with problems that may seem difficult for them. Angela is also our child that gets into trouble the LEAST. We hardly ever have to chastise for anything. She is always willing to do whatever she is asks and even sometimes (but not very often) takes the initiative to do something without being told. At church, her favorite thing to do is listen to the bible story. She is very attentive and even asks questions. Angela’s favorite color is yellow and her favorite subject in school is science. She also loves to eat beans, matooke, and posho (local dishes).

We thank God for her intellectual ability already and we know that she will go far. We ask that you continue to pray for Angela as she grows that she will always stay on track and not let anyone deter her from what is right. When you think of us here in Uganda, remember Angela.
