Students Put Vocational Skills to the Test
Every year, our team in Uganda is visited by a group of medical professionals.
They provide medical exams to the children we serve and members of the community.
In addition to doctors and nurses, this group includes student volunteers from our continuing education program. As students work alongside professionals, they gain valuable experience, running labs, checking on patients, and sharing the Gospel with all who come to receive care.
This year, Bridget and Noah are two of the volunteers.
Bridget is in her last term of medical laboratory school training, and Noah has graduated from his program.
At Lifesong, we stand by a 4-part pledge to the children we serve. The fourth part of the pledge affirms our commitment to providing orphaned young adults with continued love and support as they transition into adult living. For young adults like Bridget and Noah, this means providing opportunities for them to gain work experience.
Be taught the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ
Not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter
Receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future
Experience continued love and support while transitioning into adult living
Jossy is also helping run the medical camp.
After graduating from our program, Jossy became the school nurse on campus, a licensed midwife, and a matron, caring for and living with a group of girls in the boarding school. In her words—

“The continuing education program opened many doors to a bright future.”
This year, Jossy assumed even more responsibilities, now providing regular care and medication to community members with high blood pressure. They come by the ministry for a checkup once per month.
Jossy has a lot on her plate, but she delights in what she does. She shares—
“Going back to serve in the ministry has helped me strengthen my relationship with God. It has also allowed me to share Christ’s love with the children.”
As the ministry continues to grow, our team hopes to offer more life-skills training to help continuing education students navigate adult living.
