Helping Orphans

A 26 year old friend who had been running a business for five years while raising money for worthwhile causes around the world, found herself bankrupt after her business plans went awry. What did she do? She decided to volunteer in Uganda to assist at Watoto Baby Bullrushes home, to nurture children abandoned due to AIDS or other hardships – who are then placed in caring homes. She recently received some money to help with her own living expenses and immediately purchased 100 exercise books for school children who had none.

I’m glad to know people like Felicity. And I’m glad I can read about her adventures and comment on photos through her blog and Facebook.

    I can totally relate to Felicity’s story. I have been to Uganda many times in the last ten years. My recent visits have been to northern Uganda to visit my Acholi friends. I have created several videos to help my Ugandan friends that are helping the underprivileged and vulnerable in Uganda.
