Hi All,

Had another challenging day today.

I took this shot of a kid staring at me through the window. The eyes are the window to someones soul. This soul had a difficult start to life but if you look close enough he has hope behind his eyes.

We also met with a lady today who drove 12 hours from the North of Uganda just to tell us about her organization that is dealing with the horrors of Child War and soldiers. She told us about rebels coming into their villages and abducting young boys (as young as 4 0r 5) only to take them into the bush to train them to be killers for war. Sadly they have started to take the girls as well (child brides), which are abused and raped by the soldiers.

We also learned today that by 2010 there will be 50 million children affected with the HIV/Aids Virus. We need help and wisdom to do the right thing.
