Another lesson.
How often do you think of the value of a single piece of paper?
The children in the Village of Bakka consider a single piece of paper as a precious resource and will make use of every space on paper,tearing off peices for different purposes, when the content on the paper is no longer needed they use the paper for wrapping and storing seeds or fueling the fire to cook.

The Children of Uganda
There is something very important that I am not sure I have expressed clearly in my previous posts.
I learn more from the people of Uganda than they learn from me.
They are one, the family lines are not clear because they truly love their neighbor as them selves.
An example of this, last year when I visited, one of the sponsors sent a bag of candy to the child they sponsor. The gift was given to the child no one knew what was in the bag she received. She could have taken the bag home and no one would have know about the candy. It could have been her own Private stash. This little girl took out the bag of candy and with GREAT JOY shared the entire bag of candy with all the other children having only 1 piece for herself. The actions of this child was truly humbling and inspirational to me.
