reading #14

I read an article in the Edina Magazine.  This article is about a women and her family going to Uganda and helping the kids their.  Ann Hill is the lady and she started going their in 2001 as a mission trip.  They went to Rakai, Uganda it is home to the first AIDS diagnosis in the world.  The disease is very bad their.  Ann's goal is to raise awareness of the situation in central Africa and to work on a solution.  She started a group called African Children Today, and that partnered with Rakai Orphans Development Initiative.  These two groups are working to educate kids in Rakai, especially the young girls.  I think this is so great of the lady.  She is for sure making a difference in the world, and especially teaching her children a good lesson.  I hope I can change the world like that some day.
