Better Together
-by Jared Morrison We kicked off July with our first annual Forgotten Children Uganda staff retreat. We spent 5 days together at Musana Camps overlooking Lake Victoria.

“I Fink Dis Is Fun!”

Are You Thirsty?
– by Kimberly Morrison One morning recently, we had no water in the house, and we’d actually had no water or very low water pressure for several days.

A Busy Season
-By Jared & Kimberly Morrison Happy holidays! We hope you all enjoyed spending some quality time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving break.
