India - 2 initiatives managing stress and mental health - residential excursion life opportunities and experiences

 India - – congratulations to the inspirational Sujata and her teams  two further wonderful initiatives.

It's the examination season at the School of Happiness.

We are grateful to Apollo Spectra Hospital, Chirag Enclave, Delhi for organizing a special session on Managing Stress and Mental Health by Dr Jyoti Mishra, Psychologist.

 Our offsite excursion to Aurovalley Ashram, Uttarakhand with our Senior School students of the School of Happiness.

Through the 4 day unique Ashram Life Experience, the goal was to give our children an opportunity to step away from chaos and immerse themselves in a structured, serene and spiritually enriching lifestyle that combines meditation, yoga, mindful routines, spiritual learning and community living to holistically nurture the mind, body and soul.

Their day began at 6am with meditation, followed by yoga, eating breakfast and all meals mindfully in silence, shram daan, gaushala + unidiversity visit and spending time with Swami ji. They also participated in outdoor activities like Ganga snaan and Ganga Arati at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh

It was a life changing and fulfilling experience for the children and they have returned with many learnings that they wish to apply in their day to day lives.

Myanmar --assistance for new school

 Myanmar – as well as the two new schools we are moving the children’s home to allow more space in the school complex as our numbers continue to increase  - The children are mainly orphans though we continue to accept children from families that can no longer  cope - your support this year will go towards the ever increasing need for computers, school and orphanage furniture and general educational supplies .

Support for Ukraine

 Due to the war more and more children are homeless displaced or now without parents – our support for the orphanages will continue  with general necessities and educational items everything that will make their lives more bearable in their current situation which does not seem to be getting any better.

Nigeria - Emma School - phase 2 refurbishment

 Aghalee Collection Boxes for A  Ray of Hope UNESCO – My sincere thanks for everyone’s generosity – Several weeks ago we refurbished the frontage and walls of Emma School Nigeria. . The boxes were again emptied last Monday and Phase 2 began- and completed due entirely to the collection boxes. On this occasion we focused on the area outside the classrooms where more cement repairs and redecoration was needed. Every best wish and again my thanks. Don

Uganda Health Camp

 Uganda – health Camp – from Sophie -I am pleased to inform you that the community health camp was successfully held, and the turnout was overwhelming. A total of 502 persons with disabilities and other vulnerable members of the community attended and received much-needed services. Your generous support through A Ray of Hope made this possible, and it brought vital health services closer to the people who need them most. On behalf of Feeble Care and the entire community, we sincerely thank you for your kindness and commitment to uplifting vulnerable populations.

Sophgenyi Feeble Care Initiative successfully held our Community Health Camp at Mparangasi Health Centre III in Kyabigambire Sub-county, and the turnout from the community was truly impressive

The Camp reaffirmed an important principle: essential services must be brought closer to the people, particularly persons with disabilities and other vulnerable populations who often face structural and physical barriers when accessing healthcare.

Community members accessed medical consultations, medicines, counselling, and health education delivered by dedicated medical professionals.

We also conducted a blood donation exercise, demonstrating the community’s spirit of solidarity and commitment to saving lives.

Importantly, the camp went beyond health services. Redeem International was present to sensitise widows, widowers, and orphans about their land right and to inform them about how they can receive legal support when their land has been unlawfully taken from them. Land security is fundamental to dignity, livelihood, and justice.

I extend my sincere appreciation to all partners and supporters who made this impactful outreach possible:

Hoima District Local Government for providing medical personnel, technical guidance, and essential medicines

The Reproductive Health Unit for delivering vital health education

Redeem International for championing justice and protecting vulnerable families through land rights awareness

Our generous donor, David Tyler Trust;  A Ray of Hope, for supporting this initiative

The dedicated team at Feeblecare and all volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the camp a success

When institutions, civil society, and communities work together, we move closer to a society where healthcare, justice, and opportunity are accessible to all—especially #PWDs and other vulnerable groups.
