Hopping you are all well. We are also fine. Gratefully we thank you very much for preparing for us water, having stayed for long without water. God bless you.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to give you brief background of our living as nun in the community. We share everything in common. Here in Awach Parish, we are three sisters:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Sr Agnes Aciro, in charge \/ superior of the Sisters in Awach Parish, a teacher as well<\/li>\n<li>Sr Ruffina Aling, a retired teacher<\/li>\n<li>Sr Dolly Apio, student<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Basically, our living depends on our earning and agricultural activities. I earn 150,000\u00a2 per month. Sr Ruffina , 200,000\u00a2 per month as a pension. Out of the total of our salaries that is 40% we give to the congregation.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, all our living depends on 60% to cater for feeding, health, maintenance, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I, Sr Agnes, being a private teacher, since COVID-19, 2020 March up to date, am not teaching. So there is no salary. We are only depending on Sr Ruffina\u2019s salary, that is the 200,000\u00a2.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Co-Lab is going to train us in commerce, we hope to improve on our way of survival.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment we depend very much on God\u2019s providence.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks very much. <\/p>\n<p>God bless you,<\/p>\n<p><em>Sr Agnes<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sister-Dolly_border-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sister-Dolly_border-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sister-Dolly_border-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sister-Dolly_border-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption>Sr Dolly<br \/>Dedicated Student<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\"When I saw water in our place again owing to the support you offered us and I believe God is also smiling with you for His great acts of kindness you have exhibited.\"<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:85%\">\n<p>Sister Dolly Apio is completing her higher education to establish her vocation in service to God.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Father-Santo-Letters\/2021-07-17_ltr_sr-dolly-granddaughter.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42148\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>July 17, 2021<\/p>\n<p>A Hint on the Welfare of Sister Dolly<\/p>\n<p>I convey lovely greetings to you all my dears Dr. Richard and the family!<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I want to begin by appreciating you for putting a very big smile on my face this morning. When I saw water in our place again owing to the support you offered us and I believe God is also smiling with you for His great acts of kindness you have exhibited.<\/p>\n<p>In line with my welfare, I will talk about it basing on my status as a student still on vacation, who still earns nothing and offers no monetary support to the community.<\/p>\n<p>At the meantime, most times I attain my necessities by trusting on God\u2019s providence, especially through Godly friends and Christians of good will who care about my wellbeing, who may give some monetary support in case they have and I always thank God to their gift.<\/p>\n<p>I normally utilize it to purchase whatever I need for my personal life with the exception of food, which is provided for in our community of three sisters.<\/p>\n<p>But when at school, the congregation give some little money worth one hundred thousand shillings only as pocket money to cater for the necessities at school, which in most cases, can not even afford a decent life style, since the cost of living keeps rising.<\/p>\n<p>I really can not thank you enough for being true friends to us, confirmed by the fact that you even got interested in our welfare this vividly shows that you care about us. Be blessed always.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Your granddaughter,<\/p>\n<p><em>Sr Dolly<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/travelrec\/ugandan-youth-co-lab\/ugandan-youth-co-lab-letters\/pwi-co-lab-staff\/corrspndnc-santo-ojok-fr\/#content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arrow-left.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39243\" width=\"99\" height=\"57\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/travelrec\/ugandan-youth-co-lab\/ugandan-youth-co-lab-letters\/pwi-co-lab-staff\/corrspndnc-santo-ojok-fr\/#content\"><strong>Click Here to Explore More Content<\/strong><\/a> <br \/><em>from the<\/em><br \/><strong>Awach (Uganda) Parish Co-Lab&#x2122;<br \/>Research Institute Letters Page<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Co-Lab&#x2122; Journey: Sisters' Co-Lab&#x2122; Survival in Awach Parish July 17, 2021 The Sisters of Awach Parish discuss their means of survival in the time of the COVID-19 panic and subsequent lockdowns.
