The family tree grows bigger with 11 new children

It was happiness to the entire SOS Gulu community when seven new children of ages ranging from three months to seven years old came to live in the village. The first group of two children arrived in the village on 16th November, followed by another group of three children from Lira on 17th November 2007. The third group of two baby boys arrived on 27th November 2007. The babies had the warmest reception in the village. Children were so excited that every child struggled to hold them gently in their arms. They were accompanied by three ‘aunties’ from GUSCO, an organisation that temporarily took care of them before referring them to SOS for long term care. Prior to their coming, a small farewell party was organised by the GUSCO staff which was also attended by the children’s SOS mothers-to-be. Four more new children (2 boys and 2 girls) are planned to arrive on 10 December 2007.
