| Abandoned children are the most helpless and most frequent victims of violence, disease, malnutrition and death. Without the support from their families, these children are exposed to the frightening dangers of abduction and sexual exploitation. |
Party Time at House of Moses

Imagine over 52 children from ages 3 months to 12 years covering the lawn at House of Moses in Uganda with soccer balls, watermelon rinds, chicken bones and empty baby bottles. Such was the scene when a team from Seattle, WA invited the children from the Bill and Bette Bryant home, and the older children from the House of Martha to House of Moses for a play day.
They did play, all day. The adults were worn out after a few hours, but the children were jumping and singing and playing soccer, jump ball and silly games since 10 that morning. They never did wear out.
So many of them would be dead or still on the streets if not for the love and care in these omes.Coming to House of Moses was a real treat for them, and for the staff as well. |
Many of these orphans have been traumatized by witnessing the ruthless murder of their parents or by helplessly watching them die of AIDS or starvation. Alone, with no one to raise them, abandoned children must resort to eating any scraps available and wandering the streets.
Emotionally and physically scarred, the future for these orphans is a bleak reminder of lost hope. |
