Joan Nyakato, the blind and HIV-positive mother of four, whose family lives in a hut about to collapse in the faraway Kisindizi village of Masindi district, will have a safe brick house for Christmas.
The good news follows the publication of Nyakato's story in the New Vision of December 15, 2011, which told the family's dilemma of HIV-AIDS amidst abject poverty.
Nyakato and her family
Now 11 months down the road, the story, which ran under the title "Widowed, Blind, HIV-Positive, all Nyakato Needs is a House", has bore fruit.
Following the story's publication, New Vision readers all over the world have been contributing money towards a habitable house for this family, the highest contributions coming from a group of Ugandans under the Uganda Martyrs' Church in Toronto, Canada, through their music minister Moses Kiwanuka.
Spurred on by follow-up stories in the newspaper on the progress, the contributions kept growing by the day until sh11m was raised from readers, and Vision Group, as part of its corporate social responsibility, topped up the sh2m that stood between this family and safe housing.
As you read this, Nyakato's house, whose construction kicked off on November 9, is nearing completion.
The New Vision corporate social responsibility team and members of the Masindi TASO branch, which is responsible for Nyakato and her HIV-positive child's medication, joined the builders on site at Kisindizi village last Saturday and put in some good ours of big-push work.
The 30 Vision Group staff members, joined by TASO's seven, moved construction materials closer to the site, dug around and did some actual building among other chores, in what brought closer the completion of the house.
The 44-year-old Nyakato, who now looks a lot better than the first time we visited her (thanks to New Vision readers who have been giving her food and other supplies), was all smiles and actually joined the teams at the house under construction, which boasts two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and an outside latrine.
"I can't believe we are finally going to have a real house, thanks to New Vision for telling our story to the world," appreciated Nyakato, who also received some money, clothes and shoes for her and her children, collected from different individuals by the New Vision.
"We can't wait to enter our new house, and from the speed at which it is moving, we might celebrate Christmas in it," Nyakato projected, which Vision Group head of Marketing Susan Nsibirwa, who was also a part of the team, confirmed.
Looks like Christmas for this family will be rosy. You could make it even better with a few supplies, which you can bring to New Vision. You could also choose to educate some of her children, as they dropped out of school due to fees. They are: Theresa Amanyire, Christopher Mujuni, William Tindyebwa and Jacinta Karungi, and their future, despite getting a new house, still hangs in balance.

AMBUSH CURES HIV/AIDS
Apostle Mishe apostleshadamishe@gmail.com
Sir / Madam, For the past 10 years of study of Ambush . a Palm plant extract that if effective in curing HIV. Name of Plant; Palm Name of ingredient: Ambush Molecular weight 640 (similar to the sequisulfides) Where found: In and around the areas of South Florida where uranium waste was dumped in the 1920's from the nuclear programme that has now leaked out into the water system. A specie of the PALM plant has picked up this waste to be the valuable AMBUSH. Chemical compd; Uraium isotope (cus.n) Grayish white soft metallic compound NOT found in chemistry books. Uses: Antiviral DRUG..Ambush Found to "KILL" the HIV virus when given in a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days at a known concentration. Mode of action.. Ambush kills the HIV virus by causing the viral shell to rupture . In the lymph system Ambush produces "natural radioactivity" that "kills" the virus that 'hides' in the lymph system . This crosses the blood-brain barrier since the 'patients' claim that they are able to see,hear and think more clearly after taking Ambush. Viral Loads...This decreases from 100,000 to 'undetectable' in 21 days..... but I have had patients VL go to 'undetectable ' in 5 days. SIDE EFFECTS / EFFECTS 1. After 5 to 7 days of treatment, patients MAY complain of HEADACHES. 2. After 5 to 7 days male patients experience an increase in erection. 3. Stool becomes soft and REGULAR 4. Patients c/o being WARM in the trunk area mainly at night when lying down. Toxicology......Before administering to any person a complete toxicological analysis was done to include, arsenic, barbiturates and NO KNOWN poisons or harmful substances to mankind were found. Systems/Organs Skin...becomes cleam, smooth and free of exema or other say they have small exema patches in the first week that go away by the third week. Excretion Since this is a very LARGE molecule it is excreted relatively unchanges via urine and feaces. SEROREVERSION After 149 days the patents revert to being HIV NEGATIVE after finishing a course in Ambush hence no one goes public to say they WERE HIV positive. Pharmacology of Ambush on the GUT of an end stage AIDS person. It is known that late stage AIDS patients posses a high level of the virus in the GUT which should include the entire GI tract from stomach to rectum. Here the virus is found in the lining and this is difficult for ARV's because these are the areas needed by the ARV's to enter the blood supply. There is not a high enough blood level returning back to the stomach lining hence the virus remains in high concentration. This causes the person's appetite to decrease which causes a spiralling downhill of the body. When Ambush is taken in the liquid form, it is slightly basic and forms a stable compound in the acidic stomach.The Ambush compound is close to the stomach lining to exert the "natural radioactivity" effect which kills the virus in the stomach. Here the entire mid section feels very warm and sometimes feverish. The infected stomach lining with the dead areas is then passed out as a black slime in the stool. This usually happens about day 4 while on an Ambush regime of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days, wherein the person has a large bowel movement. After the bowel movement, the person becomes extremely hungry and eats TWO to THREE times a normal serving. Here I usually recommend cornmeal porridge with butter or cooking oil as a prevention against malnutrition and add a daily multivitamin. By day 10 the stomach has recovered and the person eats normally Since the person is able to eat well, then recovery to full health usually follows..
