Ugandan Spotlight: Jacob Ssali
The first spotlight on our trip is Jacob Ssali. We met Jacob very recently though a school run by Auntie's Angels. He is 9 years old, and in second grade. And how can you say no to a face like that? We don't know much about him as he was just recently entered into the program. But, I am excited for the new adventures that he will encounter!

Ugandan Spotlight: Faidah Nabanda
Our second spotlight on our trip is Faidah Nabanda.
I am only her correspondence sponsor. And she is still waiting for a sponsor. She is with an organization called Auntie's Angels that helps a local school give the kids the education that they need. She is 8 years old and in 2nd grade. In Uganda girls are extremely vulnerable to prostitution and AIDS. I hope that a sponsor is found so that she can be taught that she is not only loved, but also that she is wanted and that she doesn't have to go down that path like many people she knows. |

Ugandan Spotlight: Jonathan Ssemata
Our third and final spotlight on our trip is Jonathan Ssemata. He is 5 years old and in Kindergarten. The sad thing is, he is also an orphan. To think at the age of 5 your growing up without parents. That is something that would be hard for me to handle for when he goes through many hurdles in his life he wont have parental support.
