I have dotted my eyes
and crossed my teas
some of the animals
made me sneeze
what I hold now
happily in my hand
is a one way ticket
to a distant land
of Uganda I write
and hope to serve
the people Acholi
our love so deserve
As I close this A to Z challenge, I am finishing up the process and preparing to go to the land of the Acholi in Northern Uganda. This week we meet with people who will hopefully give us homes for the South Sudanese children.
Blogging is a great way to journal so here’s the beginning of a new journey to work with African children.
We appreciate your dear prayers.
