A thing called hope...

“Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.”
If you ever question what difference any of it makes, you will most certainly find your answer in the eyes of a child. The children of Uganda have answered some big questions for me. I know that I was meant to come here to listen to their stories, dance to their songs, delight in their smiles, witness their struggles, and shine a light on their hope as well as their need. I am ever amazed at the joy that can found in the most poverty-stricken of places. Many of these children live without running water, electricity, enough food, shoes to wear, clean clothes, access to adequate education or medical care. The list of what they live without goes on and on. Their clothes, their homes, and indeed their lives may seem torn and tattered, yet the most exquisite thread of hope runs through them all.
