From the heart of Sarah

Aggie and her kids have experienced a lot of suffering. They grew up in an urban slum area of Kampala, living in a tiny one room house with a violent man (the kids' biological father). Click here to read more.

This week we'd like to share with you a letter that our 14yr old daughter Sarah recently wrote to Aggie. It really touched our hearts. Through her eyes you can also see what life can be like here in Uganda.

Dear my beloved Mom,

I am so happy that you gave birth to me. Other people throw their children in the toilets, others kill them but you didn't you are a wonderful mother and I LOVE YOU very much. Each day I think about you I remember you suffering for me I hope everything is good for you. I thank you for buying everything. You working so hard suffering in sunshine and in rainfall and cold and in hot you didn't abandon me. You really worked hard for me to go to school. I will not let you down try my best not to do so. I will work very hard so that your money is not wasted for nothing. I appreciate everything you do for me.

"Have sweet dreams"
