KAMPALA UGANDA— Sanyu Babies' Home 2005-2006

The Sanyu Babies’ Home is a home dedicated to caring for forty abandoned children in Kampala, Uganda. The Home was started in 1929 by a Missionary Sister, Milnes Walker. Regardless of race, tribe or creed the home provides a warm family atmosphere, providing medical care, education and love. The number one aim of the Home is to find foster parents and adoptive families and return the children to the community within four years. The babies are found abandoned and range from a few hours to two years of age.

In 2006 Taryn Knowler a volunteer nurse from Calgary donated $300 when she went as a volunteer in January for one month.

June Raymond also volunteered at Sanyu Babies’ Home in February of 2006 and has since worked on raising funds to purchase a generator for the home – a need identified by Mama Joyce Lulindya.

In November of 2006 Mary Tidlund visited the home with Gulshan Lodhi and Yusef Mnyusiwalla. The generator was bought for the home, which now has electricity 24/7.

In December of 2006 Taryn Knowler returned to the Home with Carolyn Lefebvre. Taryn was happy to introduce some of her babies to Carolyn while they volunteered..
