Sponsorship Program Helps Children a World Away

Thirty-five percent of people living in Uganda are living at or below poverty, and the life expectancy is 52 years old.
More than 100 people were at Cornerstone Chapel Sunday evening to hear about child prostitution in Uganda and learn more about a school there that is educating children on a different way of living.
Betty Wasswa was telling people about child prostitution in her home country.
In 2008, she started a school to help get kids off the streets, and now people in Pocatello are supporting of her and the school in Mbiiko, Uganda.
Wasswa said: "It's a poor state, this a poor town, there a lot of drug abuse, sex abuse."
A group of 23 people from Southeast Idaho will go to Uganda to help supply children with everyday necessities, including 1700 pounds of rice supplement to help feed children.
Team leader Syd Hair said this trip means a lot to her and the other 22 people going, saying it's great seeing the sponsorship program grow to 88 kids.
Hair said: "We believe long term they will be the leaders in their community."
Hair added that many of the children in that specific community in the African country are lucky to get one meal a day.
