A Plea to Help Flood Victims, from Pastor Moses of Uganda

Hello friends and Shalomers:  Two nights ago we had heavy rains which turned to floods for six hours.  The disaster caused many people to lose their houses and gardens and their lives. Two of the people who died are a 67 year old woman and her grand daughter of 12 years.   When the water entered her home, it brought down the house and swept everything out. T heir bodies were found in Lake Victoria at the source of the Nile. In the spirit of shalom we are raising funds to help the affected families. We call upon Shalomers wherever you are to join us in this situation.Though these people were affected directly, we all are affected  indirectly . Pastor Baamu Moses Director of Shalom Uganda ,Africa .

I have informed Willington at Gumutindo Coope
