Progress

God has been soo  amazing to me  at serascaringplace!and i m  so thankful  for his love and protection he has given us throughout the  year! At the end of last month (November), one of my  young boys graduated from Pre-

Moses at school smiling 

 primary school (Nursery) to  a primary school. i watched him that day  will all the joy and i was so blessed   to see him happy that day. Little Moses has been the best in his class throughout the year, and he was the head boy  for his school. can u imagine?  I started wondering where he could be by now, If it wasn't Gods grace that rescued him from the street life.

 God u are a good GOD to all!. many out  there don't know how  it feels to watch such akid who had lost  hope but now he is healthy happy , and growing both physically and spiritually. Thank u Lord and we praise and warship u. I still thank God  that i was  never loved in my child hood and never got a chance to  go to a kindergarten  but  i am able to love these boys and try my best to  show them love and give them what they need.  Thank u Lord  and i know  u had a reason as to why u created me and put me on this Earth..

Sons of  God!

Praise and warship time.

Boys from Seras caring place  were the ones serving at their church and i loved watching them grow in God. they led in praise and warship, Ushering, welcoming visitors and control the little ones, Each  boy had his own role. i wish all of u were there to witness the goodness of God.! Richard,, Musa Denis and Gabriel Preached . and they preached about Dead walking men, 3 wise Men ,God's Grace and Self Esteem. 

Denis  and Richard Preaching.

Richard preached about  Losing Self Esteem!!!!!! He told people how he was lost and he had lost his self Esteem, it made  so many leak. he said  he had given up  and he  never thought of being loved  by many and eat good food  but only pick from the trash. he also said that he  never thought of talking before many people like that day. HE  WAS SO THANKFUL TO GOD. and he said that He  loves Him  with one heart and willing to serve him. ( He reminded me of my child hood)

Richard preaching.
Its a great feeling to see these boys growing so much in Jesus , Loving and knowing God  makes me smile too. if u dont know or never met these boys ........... should try  and meet them, they are soo sweeet and Loving.   we love u God. till next time , keep  checking on us! Love u all.

Mathew 25:40

Another mother...

Here i come again from the whole week ministering outside serascaringplace which was full of fun, I enjoy doing such kind of ministry because it brings joy and smiles on my lips. if u red my last blog , u will automatically follow what  u are going to read right now.  last week i visited  the same family again after buying some food and clothes for my young sweet girls.  i witnessed what they call joy in some little girls here. peter and Godfrey were also part of the trip

 It was at 10am  we arrived there and  as if they were waiting on us, they had slept with out eating anything which made me sick and  when they say us, all smiles came on there faces. i told them i had bought food for them, then shakira, the one in the middle told me that, " from today,  i will be calling u Mom" u are my mom because u are giving me food. i smiled. i tell u if u sit down and hear to what these little girls tell me me (us), u will just  burst into tears. but right we are putting everything in God's hands.   after getting food that i had brought for them, i again told them that i had another suprise for them,  u cant imagine how they all scree-med  and said ...

 CLOTHES???????, wow, i just felt that i had done  the right thing for them. God is sooo amazing and i am thankful for everything he has given me and  every single day and breath that i breathe. he is amazing God and i know thee poor girls God loves them and he knows the reason as to why they are suffering like this.

happy with extra clothes 

I confirmed  these little girls that they are starting school next year, and i told them to Pray to God and always  thank him For keeping them alive. I even told them how he Loves them, and that if he never loved them, they  would be dead by now. so they are all happy and willing to change to Christianity because they  even told me that they have never been to any mosque because of they way they look like. ( each had 1 pair of clothe and they are ever dirty)  but that now they happy to have new clothes and even  an extra pair for each tp keep. Isn't God good?


I have  strong feeling that people who are out there and they have never visited Africa, they don't know  what it means of how it feels to be a poor African child and with out any care from your parents. Please try and ask .., u will get to know  that u need to stand with us and fight for such kids future. and its the best way of Serving the Lord  Read  Mathew 25:40. it will simplify everything for u. thank u.

so sweet! <3 

More Love is welcomed to this family.  please give anything of your choice to support these kids. Clothes, shoes, school supplies and school fees. they need us. and lets stand together In Jesus' s Name! May the Lord God bless u all.

till next time, Sera.

Homeless and Helpless.

The more i grow up , is the more i experience most of the things that are making me stronger and Believe.

shakira on  the door way.

I am here to share with u one of the things that touches my heart, because it reminds me of my past. I am 25yrs, but for the past 21yrs i suffered the same problem  these  little girls are  suffering from right now . it  looks to be okay or  easy to those who have never experienced it, but to those who went through such times, we  strongly feel what it takes to be  like this.  

 Aisha me and shakira

 kitchen.

I met this family of 3girls and one boy, they have a mother who is ever drunk and a father that they never see. The oldest girl is 12yrs  but she is the mother father and everything. i met them last year January, asked them how they survive, but what i was told made me just burst in tears.  i started providing food for them and some of the other small things they needed at home, but they kept on asking  me to take them to school.  as u all know i am not financially stable, I just told them that i would try for them the next year. but it kept on pushing me up to now.  i visit them every now  and then ,  to see how they are doing but now the boy ran away from home, and the girls are there. but since the 12year girl is kind of  everything, she goes out and find some job to do from other peoples home and get either food or some small coins  (penny) . all this brings back the memories to me.please pray for them. they are all still young to care for one  another, get clothing for themselves,get food for themselves and even to get a shelter on their own. they have a crap house, when ever it rains, it just rains on them direct and   they have no choice. , I wish and i wished  long time ago, i could take them in, but due to some problems, i couldn't, 1, I have only boys, so its hard for me to mix these little girls with the grown up boys., 2, I don't have  enough space  or even a single room to spare for them. because  we are still renting and we don't have  enough rooms for  kids. I pray to God that we  get our own house or land, please stand with me in this prayers. there are so many   tears shading crying out for help  but i limited............  Stand up  with me for the needy. i am still trying to get the pics of the bigger girl (12yrs) , then i will get to u back. 

River Nile and the their garden.

This Home is on the shores of River Nile, and  they try to plant some corns and beans around the river Nile/ which is very risky. i wish i had a piece of land where i could  at least put a muddy house for them. Remember they are  on  a high risk, once the wind brows, they may find all their properties in the River. I would be pleased if any good Samaritan volunteered to stand  with me and pay school fees for these little girls, i feel like i need to fight for their  future, and i believe they will be some body in future. they are the NEXT GENERATIONS . we need to fight hard for them. thank u very much. please pray for me as i continue to fight for these little girls lives, its not easy, and again it does not mean any sense to feed them in such a house.  But i trust on Him, All things are possible with him. thank u for taking your time reading  this. will be back soon.  Love u all . 

Bless yeah

Love sera.

He is Back!!!!!!!!!!!

David after taking a shower

First of all i want to thank all of u for loving us and praying for serascaringplace home, God has been  doing amazing work through your prayers. During  late may, one of the little boys we had left  our  home with no reason, every one gave him a room to leave after we had tried to stop him and he refused. David left our home  after he had lived with us for only four months, and in those four months, he was in school and he got good grade!,  he left but he left holes on peoples hearts, every one was hurting for him because he did not know what he was doing and what he wanted  in life Thank GOD HE IS BACK!

David in school before he left.

 I believe every body kept on praying for him and God hard all our prayers including u! :) . David came back looking so sick and weak,  he came on Friday nigh at our gate (serascaringplace home) when boys saw him they all shouted David is here.........!, when i saw him, i started leaking because of the way he looked like.  i did not say anything to him as he kept on singing one  song.... Please Mummy forgive me please mummy forgive me... i have come back home please forgive me..!, i went back in the house and i entered my bedroom i started asking God what to do., i was hurting  for some reasons. i decide to test David in my own way by leaving him out of the gate with out any word from me. i did that just because i wanted to be sure if he had decided to come back for real, David Did not leave my gate till Saturday morning. other boys woke up early and found him outside our gate sleeping  and they all came shouting at my Door, Mummy mummy, David is still here.... I said God thank u. I woke up with a smile and i was eager to hear from What he was telling me,  i forgave him and welcomed him  back home and he was happy. I THANK GOD FOR THE  HEART HE GAVE ME.  i wish i could  do more that this to other kids out there who are in need of help, but  i cant help them because i luck lots of things in order to add more kids but i trust in god, he knows me and he hears me . my dream will come true one day.

 little boys welcoming David back home

God has been so loving on our side, He has done amazing things in my life,as well as my family. these boys were on street for so many years, they never had any future dreams, as they had dedicated their lives to the street  life style. But  God showed me that he is every where and he knows us all and he had reason as to why he put all of us on this earth.. WHAT WOULD THEY BE RIGHT NOW, if God wasn't there and if he didn't Love and use me to share his Love with them? He is the amazing father to all! Can u Imagine? some things  makes me smile  and feel His Presence.  We are now glorifying His
Name, we have nothing to give him but just praising and worshiping Him. and Believing in His only Beloved SON <3.  To day we went to church, and i was forced  not to go to my Church, i went to the Boys church, to see how David will testify, guess what?........ He Embraced me, he came and held my hand and took me in front, i kept on wondering  what he was planning to do,  this is unbelievable, David first gave me hug before he said anything, i was being controlled like a baby this time, then he testified by saying that He is Thanking God for Me and he prays that i last for over 100yrs .. can u imagine????? I am so blessed  by Gods Grace. please i want every one to thank God for what he is doing in peoples lives mostly at Serascaringplace family I know he has all the better plans for us Jr 29:11-14.

 David from church.

David told me that he regretted from the time he left Sera's caring place, but he feared to come back and apologize to me but after 2months back on street, with no food, love, clothes and no where to sleep, he even told that when he fell sick, he remembered the juice i used to buy for him when he was sick. just imagine that../ then he told me that  he felt how loved he was at sera's caring place and started crying and wondering if i could ever welcome him back.But with god's Grace, David forced him self to come back and seek for the forgiveness. He even apologized to his brother (boys at serascaringplace) that he is sorry for miss behaving and  not knowing that Their mummy loved them all. It blessed me soo much and i  am praying for other kids out there to think like David and know that God loves them. With Him, all things are possible. <3.
Today Monday David David started school, he didn't care about the 2 months out of school,  he said i will go and i will pass.  I thank God for his Love. Please keep on praying for us here ,  mostly me, i pass through many challenges, but i thank god for  showing me that he is Able!

till next time i remain as ..

Life Experience~~~~

I want to thank u once again for taking your time reading this, and j=knowing what is happening at sera’s caring place home. It has been a long time without communicating, I am sorry for all the circumstances that I have cause.. first of all I want to thank God For keeping me and my family safe through all the tough times and good times we have passed this year, All of u still remember how I was struggling with the house and my former landlord, but God showed me (us) how grateful he is and he blessed us with Avery beautiful home with aver understanding landlord. Isn’t Good great!?!?!?!? God has been soo amazing to us here “sera home” he has been providing us with food and he has been caring and loving to us all.

 Our beautiful home, plz u are welcome!

We moved from the former house that was giving us ups and downs for over 4 months, we moved outside the town and it was another challenge for me because the boys school is in town, I started spending a lot of money on transport for them every morning and evening that I didn’t even have, but after a short time God showed me how grateful he was and how much he loved me.  Next Generation ministries bought a van in around much or April, so through all this struggles and plan less on my side, god had all the plans he had for us. Dad (Paul D Hunter offered to transport the boys every day in the morning and in the evening, but that is only when the Van is free. He transported the boys every day to and from. I praise God for his Love and presence!  He did not stop from there, even when he was leaving Uganda to Oregon; He decided to leave the car with us so that serascaringplace boys could continue with their studies. We thank all the Next generation members for co-operating with us!

Me Dad and Lyz

I still thank God for his grace, because after  21yrs without  a family,  he gave me a family, a father and mother who cares and loves me soo much, he gave me  a family that  is showing me all the love and physical affection that I had never got since I was  4years.  No one ever loved me and cared for me but now I can feel the love from all the sides Praise the Lord!. I love my parents and I thank God for them. On 6^th of September, is when they were leaving to the other family in America, but I had a good day that day while in Kampala, they gave me surprise for my birthday, since it was there 2days after they leave, later in the evening, we headed to Entebbe Airport and we had a stopover at SESE GATEWAY Beach. We had some 15 minutes there just having fun and taking some photos.   Everything was still fun by that time…..

 Then we headed to Entebbe as it was becoming dark, we reached there, and we were told that they had only 3o minutes to leave, it was a disappoint   to me I don’t know if other people felt that way. I tried not  show my love  that time … ( shading tears), but it was un controllable, I just found myself crying and crying among  16 people that were with me, then after  Dad realizing that I was crying HE also followed me…. U all know that he is a leaker!!!!!!!!!, then I realize that I was crying because of the love I have for my parents, but I thank God they will be here soon. I love u Dad and Mom.

Can u imagine? Crazy boys.

 Me, Alie and his Mom

Dr shai and his family

As a person who grew up with no parents and no love, sometimes it’s hard for me to realize how much people love me.  But as I keep on growing both spiritually and physically, and drawing more closer to God, I believe it will be soo easier for me. 2 weeks back, I visited the hospital with my brother Jeff. he had some problem  with his tooth, so I decided to take him to  a dentist  whom I met in 2008. And he and his family became a friend, to me but I did not realize how much they loved me. Here we go.  We reached there    he welcomed me and I introduced my brother Jeff to him, but Jeff was in kind of as hock how  friendly I was with this Indian Dentist. The as we were still chatting before he worked on Jeff, he asked me about my parents (Paul Hunter and Pam Hunter) I informed him that they left  to USA, then he asked me if I will be free the next Day.. Then Jeff wondered… Free….,?!?!?!  As a brother I believe he was trying to be protective. Then I replied to the Doctor that YES I will e free.. He put a smile on his face and then told me that I am inviting u to come and HAVE LUNCH with us here at my home…..! My response to that was a smile..  J He worked on Jeff and we went back home.

 Then the next day I went there at 1pm, the wife and their Son all jumped on me, they welcomed  with a glass of juice as the  4yr  old boy grabbed my camera and started taking photos but I had to show him how to use it.  Then I started wondering if they had planned for this or they did that just because they loved me..  After 30 minutes..  They brought food we ate and they shared their life and hearts with me.   These people are Pakistan’s, they told me that they loved me from the Day they met me in 2008 when I had malaria, they told me that I have been a good person to them and the thanked me for loving their Son from the time he was he was 1yr. they told me they always felt smiley whenever I visited the hospital. Then inside me I was like what a blessing I have got today. They  kept on telling me how they wanted to invite me long time ago, but they kind of  feared because they had never loved by any African person like that,  and even the way they loved me was  ………., so they told me that they had nothing to give me to show me how much they love  me , but they decided to invite  me to have lunch with me as  assign showing that they love me, they told me  that its cultural  way of showing   how u love  someone. What a fun day!!!!!!!!!!!!   We enjoyed  each other they even told e that they may  go back to their country next year and they  will not come back……..  I felt bad of course……., but never mind.   Since I also adopted the American  culture,  I also invited them  to come and  visit my big family and have  dinner with us  as assign of appreciation and love . They were all happy; they told me they will inform me on the date they will be able to make it since they all work at the hospital.  Iam longing for that day, and I believe they will have a great day with me as God allows! I thank God for what he is showing me, I never imagined to be loved like this in 3 yrs. back. But God had all plans for me and  he has a reason as to why I  survived the Genocide and all the turf times and  that’s why I am still existing!!!!!!!!!!!  Isn’t good GOD great???????????  I believe and have strong faith in him. He is ABLE.


God Has been doing amazing things in my life, ever since i got a family! I have much to say, but there is one coming soon. thank u for your time!

Lyz ,Dad,Sera and Jeff! 

If u have christ in your saul, there is nothing to be afraid of, because your protector your provider and your lover is by your side! and Remeber there are many who promises to be there for u.and the

n they walk away But there is God whose love never fails and who will ALWAYS be with u.

Till next time , i Love u all <3 <3~~~

One Simple House ...

Blair, Sera, Robyn

Is Now A Wonderful Home.

 My sister Robyn and I (Blair), met our dear aunt Sera on the first day of our arrival on March 8th. Since then we have spent most of our time with Sera becoming closer and learning about each others lives. Robyn and I take every chance we get to spend some time with Sera's boys at Caring Place. Some time back Sera informed us that the landlord of the house they are living in is demanding too much from her and making them move to a different home. We knew Sera was stressed over all the drama of her situation but we had no way of helping except to encourage her. She explained the difficulties of searching for a house and a landlord who would be accepting of her having 20 boys living with her. The best we could do was pray and be patient that God would find a way and guide her in the right direction.
 Robyn and I have been so blessed to be able to stay in Uganda for more then two weeks, or even one month. We have been here for 3 and a half months, and we have one more month to go. I believe the longer you stay in an unknown place, you start to see underneath the surface, you get to know the way things really are. You find that many organizations are corrupt in some way or another. I have learned that Sera truly loves these boys, because she knows where they come from and she can relate to them. Sera is genuine in her loyalty to the care and love that these kids need. Sera doesn't use these boys as an opportunity of income, or her personal needs financially. God gave her the heart of love and patience to raise 20 boys. I can't imagine anyone else more perfect for what she does.

Back entrance of new home

Peter, Sera, Papa (Paul Hunter)

 My sister and I have enjoyed every moment with our auntie and her boys. I have been watching her stress level get higher and higher as she was on a hunt for a new home. The troubles she kept running into were that rent was too much, housing conditions, and of course the hesitation that the landlords had at the mention of 20 boys being residents. Sera was constantly remembering that God would take care of her and show her the way, which can be difficult when it seems there is no way. She was doing her best to find a place in town so that the boys could continue at the same school. When she was sure she had checked every house in town she decided to branch out and see what was out there. On Wednesday June 22, Sera took us to a house that she was calling her new home. I was so excited because as soon as I saw the house, I knew that God was in it. She had the key and walked us through her home with a huge smile. I felt so happy and satisfied that she found a nice place. Later on Sera told me that the landlord was great. He told Sera he doesn't care about the kids living there, and he actually appreciated her for what she was doing for the boys. He said that he would come back to the house in three months and if the house was in good condition then he would leave her alone. Sera said it was the first time she had ever heard a landlord say "you can even pay me one month and move in". We laughed and smiled a lot because this move is taking a step forward.

Boys Quarters

Tomorrow Sera is moving some things to the new house and also informing the boys of the shift taking place. On Saturday she plans on the move being finished. Right now her biggest obstacle is getting to boys to school.  She will be living out of town and she has no way of transporting the boys to and from school. We asked about them changing schools but found out that you can only change schools at the beginning of a year, not in between terms. So we are letting God make a way and until He shows us His plan, we are rejoicing for the gifts he has placed in our hands.

with love.
Blair Olivia.

Once again!

Hello every one,  once again u am sorry for not keeping u posted for along time. well, there has been  too much going on this month, that tried to keep me alittle bit busy, but since the months is ending , i believe it good for u to know all that has been going on with Serascaringplace home.

On 21st of this months that was before Easter, all the schools all over uganda got there 1 moths break from school.so as my boys did, Once again one of my boys Joseph go  ascholorship from his school, which wasnt asuprise to me coz he is ever the best in each grade he is.Iam only suposed to pay for his lunches. ahahha, u know very wel, they cant do everything for him. well. Paul who is in grade 3 was also the best in his grade as usual, but i was just wondering why didnt offer him ascholorship too as they did last year, anyway never mind. i hope they had some reasons as to why. Now boys are all home, i am trying to give them aknowledge on the computer, but as u all know that we are 19 on one computer which is making our work slow and slower.  so please pray for us every dy so that we get more than one so that amont 18 boys, at least each 3 boys can share one computer. Thanks to u all.

As u all  know and here that there has  been lots of Riots because of high priced fuel, which is making everthing expenssive. I went shoping yesterday with two of my   older boys Denis and richard. we  were purchasing thing while leaving them  at the shops , because we had alot to buy and  we had no  where to collect things togather apart from looking for  avan to hire after purchasing everything. as we  were just done, paying for  everything. i smelt something that was  not common  to me and my eyes stated leaking, as that happened, people started scarturing singing only one word Tear gas tear gass, then i rushed  and told my boys , that lets go and get boda boda back home. hmmm.. ask me what? no boda could take us home because every one was running away. then  we ran to this  lady's shop as she was trying to close, we ran and asked her for afavour. she was so kind, she allowed us to to hide there for few minutes.  then after  15-20 minutes, i just decided  to get out and run to mail street as i had afeeling that  main street was  safe. we got bodas from main street  and rushed home.  

Now............................... all that happened after i had paid  for everything we had  purchased.  but i did not take them with me because of  the  riots. now going back and climing  things i had  paid for  was another riot on my side. it was so hard for me  to get what i paid for and it took me another hours trying to explain.  so please people out there pray for us,  we need things to change so very soon, mostly the prices are going higher and higher everyday which doesnt favour us at all.  please put us in your daily prayers . Tha k u all. <3  <3.

Today 30th, May maid decided to have abreak of 3 weeks to go and visit with her family after 1 year with out visisting them. it was her decision, and i am happy for her that she will have that time.  so now, that means what?????  it means that i am going to be too busy for life as i have to prepare  meals for my boys, but i hope to have some one to volunteer  soon.
