Special Guest to Attend Screening of "Malayaka House" at the Oaks Theater

On Sunday, Sept. 18, Robert Fleming will be a special guest for a 7 p.m. screening of "Malayaka House" at the .

The movie is the story of Fleming, an American who through a series of circumstances adopted a new purpose to save children in the urban villages of Uganda.

Fleming reached a crossroads in his life when he rescued a newborn child from a garbage can in Entebbe, Uganda. He named her Malayaka, which translates as Angel.

As he drove to his hotel room with this newborn baby in his lap, he made the choice many to give up his life in America to remain in Uganda to raise her.

More children were brought to him, and he started an orphanage to house these children and named it after the girl whose birth started it all—Malayaka House had been born.

Fleming's orphanage turned into a movement to employ impoverished women, to develop farms that both feed and enrich poverty-stricken children, to harness solar energy and rainwater so that not just these orphans, but hundreds of Ugandan children could have the basic necessities of life.

The children of Malayaka House were once labeled forgotten, abandoned, abused and orphaned. They are now happy, healthy, educated young people with a bright future, all because of the work of this man.
