Westminster’s Plans for Letters to Uganda

Westminster Christian has recently been working with the Kamanzi family in Uganda.

David Kamanzi is the founder of Joy of a Child Ministries. Through its partnership with the organization, Westminster has been able to make a global impact. In October, a group of students met and wrote to the 9 kids living with the Kamanzi family. Within the past week, the students excitedly received their first reply.

As the project continues, the goal is to continue to build and grow the relationships with our new “pen pals.” On Jan. 26, students will be meeting to respond to the letters recently received. Anyone who is interested is more than welcome to come and participate, even if they didn’t write a letter the first time. The students will be meeting at 3 p.m. this coming Wednesday in the study hall room. There will be snacks and writing supplies provided. Students should bring any pictures or small items they wish to send to the kids. The items need to be easily mailable. Stickers, bookmarks, or coloring pages work great! There also needs be enough for each child.

Westminster is blessed with the opportunity to connect with kids halfway around the world. Come and be a part of what God’s doing from one community to another!
