Today I spent quite a bit of time working with my bank getting organized for the next step in this adventure. This year I hope to raise enough money to complete our pilot project as well as to expand some of our programs to include working with parents at the children's hospital, sending more kids to school and finishing our first (hopefully of many) chicken farms. I am going to really push for this in the first half of the year so that when I return to Uganda (which I hope to do this summer) there will be so much to capture with my camera to share with all of you!

My hope is that you will follow along on this life-changing adventure and see that by contributing to it, you will feel that you are a part of something big- something good - changing the life of someone and giving them a chance to not only survive, but thrive. This year I hope to introduce you to some of the wonderful families that we have been working with. When you see their beautiful children and realize the potential that each of them have to impact their communities through education, you will understand what drives me to dream big. And let me tell you- I am dreaming big this year!

So I invite you to join me on this adventure. I invite you to find your own ways to impact the lives of these families, these children, this community. I encourage you to dream big, do good. Wishing you an incredible year my friends, filled with laughter and triumphs and joy. And big dreams.
