We know about the orphanage called SOS because Miss Neylan sponsors Rose and Mr. & Mrs. Margrave sponsor Winnie.
(click here for SOS Orphan video )
Miss Neylan & Mrs. Margrave went to college with the family that runs the orpahange and foundation, Shannon and Danielle Hurley. They are a commited amazing family that have dedicated their lives to helping the people of Uganda in a variety of ways. One of those ways is to care for orphans.
Mr. Margrave and ICU friends, Adam Powell & Jeff Lewis recently traveled to Uganda and actually visited SOS and saw, first hand, the good that’s being done and what the needs are.
The monthly fee of sponsoring an orphan is $30. However, the actual cost to feed, clothe, house, educate and love these precious people (with the bare minimum) is approx $100. So, as you can see, there is a deficit each month.
Recently, SOS, furnished a proposal to all the sponsors for the improvements they are trying to make (i.e. mattresses for the children, pillows, bed sheets, running water, footlockers, shelves, sewage lines, food, to name only a few things). The proposal is astronomical to a Ugandan, but dirt cheap for the US. SOS needs a total of $65,469 to safely provide basic needs for the orphans like Rose and Winnie.
ICU’s mission statement goasl are to bring awareness and to assist physically, monetarily, emotionally, and spiritually to the crisis in Uganda, Africa. SOS seems to fit the club’s purpose and since ICU has direct & personal connections to SOS, ICU has decided to raise funds for the 50+ orphans and their orphanage…and maybe someday ALL the ICU members can go with Mr. Margrave, Adam, & Jeff to Uganda to visit the orphans that we’ve been helping!

Respected Sir,
I am Roman Catholic Priest, working closely with a Home-based Care Unit assisting the AIDS patients as well as AIDS orphans. We try to provide food for 45 adults and 70 children daily, with the donations given by generous individuals. We also have 140 orphans registered with us, who are being helped in one way or another. But since the resources in this little town of Namibia is meagre, and since the volunteers themselves are very poor, we are not able to make both ends meet. Hence, we would like to know whether you would be willing to assist these helpless little ones and further the charitable work that God wants us to accomplish here on earth.
Thanking you for listening to us and expecting a positive reply,
yours truly,
Fr. Joseph Kunjaparambil MSFS

Hello Father Joseph-
Thank you so much for writing. We are so grateful for the work that you are doing and applaud your dedication.
ICU is a small group of highschoolers who are trying to make big changes. We woudl love to support everyone, but at this time all we can commit to is IC & SOS. We hope to raise enough money for those and more. If that should be out blessing than we would love to share!
Until that time, you’re in our thoughts and prayers and please keep us posted!

hello everyone,
we read with interest about Rose and Winnie, who are children of CMU Childrens home, being sponsored by SOS. SOS does not run this childrens home but was a link to CMU to sponsor some kids up to December 2007. SOS has actually stopped sponsoring Rose and Winnie! So the two are actually looking for other sponsors. Anybody willing may contact us on cmumission@hotmail.com for further details.
regards, cmu team.
