As we enter the giving season, I give thanks everyday for my Uganda journey. Meeting these girls, hearing their stories, and seeing their ambition changed me forever.

I am a huge proponent of giving a hand-up, not a handout. I plan to support their efforts and will to overcome every hurdle way past my lifetime. Their determination to learn despite the obstacles of their past keeps me going.

I have a BIG goal to reach in the next 365 days – the sponsorship of 200 St. Elizabeth Academy girls. Next week I will tell you about an exciting new incentive promotion for the holidays. But for right now, here’s how you can help reach this goal. We created the hash tag #ISupportH4H – use this hash tag when sharing your favorite social media posts, status updates and tweets of ours.

Those famous words: “It takes a village” – is right on the mark. I can’t do this myself. I need your support to get the message out, to get our girls sponsored so their education continues.

Together with you, #ISupportH4H.

Peace and Love,

Cristen
