About ten years ago a woman from America felt the Lord calling her to Uganda to help the many orphaned and suffering children there. After a year or so, she started an orphanage with a native Ugandan man, who she thought was good and trustworthy. It turned out, however, that his motives were very selfish and that he really was not concerned for the welfare of the children. Not knowing this at the time, the woman left the children in the care of this man and his wife. It wasn’t long before she found out the truth, but because of the power and influence of this man, she couldn’t do anything to change the circumstances or help the children. Due to many different circumstances, the woman had to leave Uganda, and leave the children in that place where she knew they were not well taken care of. When she returned to the United States, she went to the churches which were supporting the man and tried to explain to them what had happened. Naturally, they questioned the man and made him answer to the accusations. Because he is such a deceptive man, he was able to convince the churches that her stories were just that, and that the children were all doing very well. Both of the major sponsors took his side and continued sending the money they thought was supporting the children. I went to Uganda in 2005 with my pastor and a couple others, and returned for the second time in January 2007. During the first trip, we heard about the orphanage and some of the things that were going on there, but nothing much came of the stories. The second visit was a different story. Some of the children who had been in the home had run away because of the harsh conditions and I had a chance to sit and talk with six of them. The stories that I heard directly from these children who were themselves the victims were horrible. They told stories of severe cruelty, of beatings, malnutrition, and overworking. It was not only these few children who were mistreated, but all of them, from the youngest to the oldest. The man and his wife that own the land and run the home were becoming very wealthy at the expense of the children. They use the money that the sponsors send for personal gain, giving only enough to the children to keep them alive.
“And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me”
