Kaabong, Uganda- Every once and awhile someone steps forward and says what really needs to be said. In this case a young female orphan in the midst of her own suffering and struggle for survival appeals for support to help the children of her village. This is true leadership, not grandstanding, as she is passionate and articulate about the critical need to have education fees paid for street orphans. She tells of her own pain briefly as an example of the need but does not make it the focus. She is excited for what she is witnessing as she states her prayers and the prayers of many have been answered because our team has returned to keep their promise to bring medicine and treatment to the village. Let us keep up our vigilance of looking for the most vulnerable populations in the region forgotten or overlooked by big aid for various reasons. Let us remember what a difference our support can make to real people who are desperate to be noticed and loved by their neighbors. Let us love our global neighbors by empowering them to care for those in the greatest need. Ugandans are ready and willing to help weak and helpless victims of war, famine, and displacement.
