Uganda

I’d like to let you all know about the amazing opportunity I have coming up in January. I have the privilege of going to Uganda with group of 15 young adults from my church (Capital Christian Center). We are going to an orphanage in Kampala and will be working with the kids and helping build a high school for them. This will be my first time out of the US, which is a little scary, but very exciting. I’ve dreamt of going on a mission trip for awhile, and as most of you know, I love kids!
