ive been hesitant to pull out my banner since ive been here cuz i dont want it to seem like im just trying to hang out with Ugandan's so that i look like a good pageant girl... but i figured that i needed to have some kind of proof that ive actually been doing something worth while since ive had my title. so while we were in luweero i took a couple pictures. and now everybody jokes that im just here to get pageant points :). so these are some of the kids we hung out with. we visited a center called Jesus Cares. The program, run by a local pastor and his family, provides respite and support for victims of HIV/AIDS. they reach out to many children who have either been orphaned after their parents died of AIDS or have been disowned by they families because they themselves are HIV positive. they also reach out to mothers who are HIV positive or who's children are HIV positive...often and HIV positive mother and her children will be rejected by her family and she will have no way of supporting herself and her children especially if she cannot get medical attention. it was great but overwhelming...
