This does not necessarily mean that your children are not getting extra assistance, it just means they aren't included in the program I described above. The good news is that because their centers are not a part of this program, they are likely not living in the area hit hardest by the food crisis. (An area in northern Uganda called the Lira/Apach Cluster.) Amanda, neither of those centers are included in the list of 12 that are a part of this program.

What is the number for your child's development center? This is the two letter country code (UG) and first three numbers of your child's number. Amanda, I’d be happy to check for you.

I want to help too, but my resources are pretty limited right now. I will do what I can. Is there any way to find out if Naome is in one of the centers that is receiving the extra assistance? Thanks again for all you and Compassion are doing to help these precious little ones! Becky, thank you for your response. I want to help too, but my resources are pretty limited right now.

The effects of poverty are very ugly. I want you to know that Compassion is doing everything we can to address the overwhelming needs of our sponsored children and their families. In Uganda we are in the middle of a three month famine relief program. Specifically, we have targeted 12 child development centers that have the most critical need. Each registered child at these centers will receive with 1kg of maize flour per day and 1kg of beans per day. I hope this helps you to know we are taking extra measures to provide for the children in Uganda.

I pulled up some information on "My Account" and found a new picture of my cutie pie (Naome) in Uganda. I have many pictures of this precious 5 year old, but the new one I found tonight scared me. She is wearing a light green dress that is so very big on her. But the problem is that she looks so thin! And that shy grin I am use to seeing has been replaced by a very hollow look in her eyes. Then to read this article about the families so hungry in Uganda is alarming! Tonight I came across this article after getting quite a shock.
