Ugandan Orphans Find Hope Through a Simple Gift

Check out this video from our time in Uganda. Brittany Vos, who was one of our leaders, is from Canada. She got all her friends and family to donate stuffed animals with notes from children in Canada to the orphans in Uganda. She then brought hundreds of them over with us to Uganda. We gave them out at the orphanages we went to. The kids were so excited to receive their very own stuffed animal (something children in America would take for granted) and a handwritten note from children just like them all the way in Canada! It was so amazing to watch the joy on their faces as the gift was placed in their hands. They would show their new animals off to all their friends and ask us to read the notes to them. I think this was a gift they will never forget! And our team will never forget this experience either!
