What I learned in Uganda
Hi, my name is Jamie, and I'm trying to help some children get the basics- some of whom I've spend time with. I' had a chance to enter their world for 9 months in Uganda in 2010 & want to share all I can, but my financial well is proverbially dry =(
Uganda is crazy (in good ways), and one crazy thing about "UG" is it's population:
50% of it's population is estimated to be aged 15 or below.

ONE YEAR & GROWING STRONG!! - November 2011
aT4a began a year ago this week when a Facebook post was responded to by someone who wanted to help these children. From a simple conversation, a project was inspired, a chicken-farm raised for RUHU (Patrick's home) and the rest is history!
(This short video was made for a wrestling tournament now dedicated to Randeep)
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE INVOLVED!
We love having people help in any way!
Have you considered:
- getting to know more of what's happening
- sharing the cause with others
- donations of finances to a certain cause

It would be great to get some people willing to spend 1-3 weeks among the people we're sharing this journey with ~ if you're interested in any of these things, please email: [email protected]
