This could be my child if I had been born in Uganda

The journey begins.....

I am writing this blog for my own sanity and to be a voice for all those I have seen who have touched my life so deeply who can never write to you themselves.

I am not a journalist,not even a good t
ypist but I want to speak - I am tired of being silent and if no one hears at least my words will echo through eternity.

My journey begins when I first fly into Uganda in 1999.....an innocent enough trip - to attend a conference on HIV/AIDS. This was the area I was working in back at home in Bermuda.

So what happened? I am not sure.....God began wooing my heart and I remember standing on a porch during a break at the conference, speaking to a woman who was working in Africa. She was from the U.K. and as we talked I had the strangest feeling I would one day be very, very involved with this country I knew nothing about!
