Uganda

So we have found out that Aunt Deb will be adopting Leah Grace from Uganda and when I found out, I decided that I would like to go on the trip. I figured the experience would be amazing, life changing, and something I would really like to do.



My trip and accommodations are already paid for, but I would really like to raise money for orphans. Anna and I are going to work together to meet a goal of $500 but if we could raise more that would be amazing. If you can help me meet that goal it would be great, but if you can't, prayers for the trip and fundraising are just as good. Here are a few facts.....



  • Malaria kills more than 2,000 children each day
  • 20% of African children die before the age of 5
  • There are 15 million HIV/AIDS orphans in Africa
  • Every three seconds a child dies from AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa
  • Nearly 2 million children under 14 years old are HIV positive
  • Between 12 and 14 million children have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS
  • There are about 2,500,000 million orphans just in Uganda

Those are just a few statistics, but you can see that the orphans need your help. Thanks for reading this.
