Daily Life

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about NOTDEC Uganda.  

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that ... not  at  NOTDEC.  At NOTDEC, it seems to me that love is everywhere.   

Often it's not particularly dignified or news-worthy, but it's always there — children sharing the few things they have,  boys carrying bags,  girls helping with the babies,  a 5-year old comforting a tiny tot,  up-streched arms,  out-streched hands,  smiling faces,  and — behind it all — caring adults with very little who have given everything for children with nothing.

If you look here, you'll find that love actually is all around.
