You see so many babies with yearning eyes; with the quest for a belonging; you note the open welcome; the constant child innocence; you feel the uncertainty and craving for answers from many toddler faces. Sometime one can be reduced to tears. In this Newsletter, a lot of the agony and traumatic experiences these abandoned vulnerable babies and children have had to endure by being abandoned/orphaned has been reflected. We continue to thank SBH many supporters, donors, volunteers, friends, guardians, foster and adoptive families who have continuously come out to help. We also thank the Bishop of Namirembe Diocese, The Rt. Rev. Wilberforce Kityo Luwalira and the entire Diocese for their overwhelming support. In a special way, the Board of Governors of SBH have extended their appreciation to the special group of donors listed by the Director. Sanyu Babies’ Home, P.O.
