I learned today that the GREAT VALLEY CHILDREN'S CENTER houses 367 children! As if that weren't enough, there would be more children, IF THEY HAD THE PHYSICAL SPACE FOR THEM!!!!
Come on people, 367 children are being helped by a group of people who have NO government support! The ONLY support they have is private individuals in their country and elsewhere!
I believe that this is definitely an organization that deserves support and assistance from people like us.
I would like to raise some money to help them have more food, and maybe even expand to house the extra children that they are having to turn away right now due to a lack of space.
Let's show them that we care!

Update for Homeless Children in Uganda
Hello Everyone,
I have heard back from the GREAT VALLEY CHILDREN'S CENTER in Uganda.
They have forwarded their contact info to me including info for those who wish to donate to their organization.
To contact their organization you can write to them at:
GREAT VALLEY CHILDREN'S CENTER,
P.O.Box 25201,
Kampala
Uganda
East Africa.
Their phone number is:
256 772611652
Those who wish to donate can do so by using the following account info:
StanbicBank Uganda.
SWIFT CODE = SBICUGKX
ACCOUNT NAME = GREAT VALLEY CHILDREN'S CENTER
ACCOUNT NO= 0140567852201
From what I have gathered in my investigation, this organization can use ANYTHING that we can send them. Food, clothing, paper, pencils, crayons, paints, literally ANYTHING!
They have received some art supplies from a school in Canada, and have been extremely grateful for them.
If any of you are involved with a school, correspondence from children in other countries inspires these children to share their own experiences, allowing the children in both countries to learn from each other. If your school does decide to do so, make sure they send extra paper along so the children at the center can respond!!
Any groups that decide to communicate with the center, I would love to know that my blog helped to connect you with them, please let me know!
