paying it forward

Patt and I firmly believe that “All is blessing.”  Giving back is critical to expressing our gratitude to God for these blessings. If you download any or all of the prayer songs on this website, I am grateful that my music may enhance your prayer-life.

Below are a few of the charitable organizations that would benefit from your donation.

Fr. Muhindo Nobert  and the Fr. Muhindo Nobert Foundation

Fr. Muhindo is a young priest of the Diocese of Kasese, Uganda. Mass stipends to Fr. Muhindo and Ugandan Martyrs Parish, P.O. Box 510, Kabuyiri, Uganda are greatly appreciated.

He has also established a charitable foundation that provides local orphans (and due to mudslides and civil unrest, there are many) with school tuition fees. Upon graduation, the students return a portion of their work salary to support other orphaned students through gifts to the Foundation.

If you wish to donate to Fr. Muhindo’s Foundation or Ugandan Martyrs Parish, you can make a gift via Western Union to one of the addresses below. Or contact me and I will facilitate your donation via my personal Western Union account.

As chair of the Corning Rotary Club’s International Grants Committee, I have worked with SOYODI for the past five years. Most recently, our Rotary Club partnered with the Rotary Club of Soroti Central in Uganda to receive the first of three planned Rotary International Global Grants to teach skills in sewing and tailoring to 150 Ugandan young people – predominantly women. The $73,500 grant will gift graduates with a treadle sewing machine, allowing them to open a tailoring business. SOYODI has also used the grant monies to establish a micro-business producing affordable, reusable sanitary products.

The sponsorship of one sewing machine, fabric, and tools is $180. Please include your name and email address so that we can keep you informed of the SOYODI project

Donations (of any amount) may be made to:
