Meeting the children of Uganda – They were smiling and having fun.
There was a curiosity in their eyes when they saw me.

I have always known that the children in Africa were starving and needed help. I have often seen pictures of sad-looking children on the side of the road, with bloated stomachs and the look of “please help me.”

When visiting Uganda in 2019, I witnessed the poverty and terrible conditions near Kampala’s Kasubi Tombs. What surprised me was noticing that these children were smiling and having fun with each other. There was a curiosity in their eyes when they saw me. I was called a “mzungu,” meaning “white skin.” There was one little girl that brings a smile to my heart. She had a t-shirt on with the word “Canada.” I tried to explain to her that I live in Canada. Not sure if she understood, but she always had a huge smile on her face.
