Thought of the day 15/2/2024 - A moment in time

Making connections with people in Uganda is one of the main reasons so many of us continue to return each year. My favourite memories from this trip have been reconnecting with people that I never expected to see after last year. Last year a young boy from the CRO made us speechless with his talent - singing and dancing. We were so pleased to see him again this year, his smile as he walked in, lit up the room. He lead a whole song to welcome us. The new members of the team were blown away by his talent. We were so pleased to see he was doing well and at school.

Posho and beans may not be the most appetising thing when you get it all day everyday, however at CRO today we watched one little boy gratefully receive his dinner, put it on his knee, bow his head to say a prayer before he ate it. That’s what being greatful is. After he started eating his friends shared their food with him. It was so beautiful to see them be so kind to each other and to put each other first. Even when you have nothing, you can still give something.
