A chance to do something nice for someone in need

I have some friends who live in a spiritual commune in Oregon who have recently connected with some great kids in Uganda. Their life stories are heart-breaking and their living conditions rough, so my friends have decided to lend a helping hand to eight of these kids. They tell me these are amazing kids with big hearts and great spirits.

But they are so poor that the gifts they have to offer the world remain to a large extent ungiven. This could be changed with education and support. It’s a sad fact that amazing human beings with great potential to impact the world in a positive way live in places around the world where financial means limit their ability to shine.

Five of these kids have already found willing sponsors and three now remain. For $30 a month, my friends at the Living Love Fellowship will ensure their education, so that they can make the impact they should. These youth have suffered terribly – I cannot begin to comprehend some of these life stories. It would be a joy to know that their future is in good hands.

If you want to know more, please visit the website they have set up “Heart to heart Uganda“.

Thank you.
