One Child at a Time ... the story of buruhan (Part 1)

Buruhan's Surgery
Buyamba's mission is to offer love, hope, and a future through education and discipleship...one child at a time. This is not an easy task when the amount of children in need grows. One of the biggest challenges with this mandate of one child at a time is dealing with a child who has special needs or a medical condition. It is very difficult to give that extra help and time on a continual basis to one child when we have so many...BUT GOD always finds a way. Never has an example of this kind of divine intervention been so evident as with a student named Buruhan. Also known as Buru.
Burhuan was born with a physical limitation that comes with dwarfism. As he has grown, it has become more and more challenging walking up the many stairs at school and maneuvering quickly through the crowd of kids in the hall. Meanwhile, as his condition grew more physically challenging throughout the years, God was raising up advocates to help Buru with his individual journey at the same time. Like the Shepherd of the Bible who goes after the one sheep who was separated from the fold (Matthew 18:12) God moved on the hearts of a group of Buyamba sponsors to try and find medical help in the United States. After much planning and investigating, it was set for Buru to fly out to Texas and have surgery with a specialized doctor in the U.S. Unfortunately, Buruhan's VISA was denied. We feared that again, we were helpless to come alongside this little one and his individual
struggles, but God moved again on another sponsor's heart named Jackie Grant, and she investigated the opportunity to have Buruhan treated in his own country with a specialized surgeon who travels internationally from the U.S.
In 2017, Buruhan had his first successful leg surgery (pictured above) that would be the beginning of healing. Now, in January of 2018, Jackie is traveling back to Uganda again to stay by Buru's side as he will have his second surgery on his other leg by that same visiting surgeon. While the first time God had moved on the hearts of a group of donors to cover all his medical expenses, this time, a generous organization called Child Springs International is covering all of his hospital expenses. Because these sponsors followed God's lead and had a strong relationship with kids at God Cares School, God's plan was set into motion.
Buruhan's Surgery
God Cares...and he cares about each of the students, wanting them to know that even if they don't have an earthly father, like Buruhan, God himself is their father, and he has the most creative ideas of how to meet the needs of each and every one of his children.
