I’m having major technical difficulties on this blog so I had to post about this over on my Loft3 blog. Click on that link to read the whole post and see videos of the child we sponsored in Ali’s name.
Remember when all of us gorged ourselves with Orange Leaf for a week straight? Well I received some info on the little girl we sponsored awhile back but I had been waiting to introduce her here on the blog. Connie, the founder of Unified for Unifat, recently made her annual trip to visit the sponsored children in Uganda. While there, part of their mission is to get to know the children and take pics and videos for the sponsors back here in the States.

Here are ways you can personally help Unified for Unifat.
Donate to the cause. Once on their homepage you can chose where/what you want your money to go. This isn’t a big organization. In fact, it’s really just a handful of local high school’s service clubs who came together to help save the invisible children of Uganda. Your money will actually go directly to that specific cause. Actually, one of the original students that started this org moved to Uganda after college! So Connie and him talk daily about all things happening with the American donated money!
