The other day I saw a news report about many of those “feel good” stories you see on social media. Evidence shows that most are AI generated and not actually true.  

 Well, all of our posts and stories are about real people, real situations, and real hope, and that hope is thanks to all of you!

 This week Hilda brings you Namugele Maureen's story. It is one of unimaginable tragedy and struggle. But thanks to the help she receives from our Girls' Vocational Center, it's also one of hope.  

Thanks to our wonderful donors, teen mom Joan was able to have a healthy delivery in a clinic. Both she and baby Sulaiman are doing well. This would not have been possible without your support, and yes, I want to tell you once again that you make a lifesaving difference! Once Joan is ready, she will be resuming classes in hairdressing at our Girls' Vocational Center. 

This week, I wanted to introduce you to, and shine a spotlight on, Namuwanga Hilda who is our lead program coordinator in Uganda. She is always ready with a welcoming smile and has a wonderful sense of humor.  You see her in most of our photos and videos.

On any given day, you can stop by our Girls' Vocational Center in Buwudha village and you will see it packed to the walls!

While the girls in our tailoring program are learning, many of their young children are crawling around under the tables and in front of the center. It's been working, but it hasn't been the ideal situation.
