Review for Juna Amagara Ministries, Glen Ellyn, IL, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

February, 2010 found me (along with five others from our church in Central Iowa) in Uganda for two weeks working with Juna Amagara Ministries. The long ‘road’ there had some ‘ob-stack-les’, plenty of adventure, and great treasure, some of which we sought, but mostly about which we didn’t have a clue!

The treasure was the PLACE -the Pearl of Africa, the PEOPLE -who God must’ve been thinking of when he pronounced his creation of mankind very good, and the POSSIBILITIES.

Oh, the possibilities. What one dollar can do to build schools and orphanages is astounding.

But pssst: Here’s the real treasure: sponsoring an orphan who is herself/himself a treasure, full of wonder and gratitude. Yep. A buck a day for wonder and gratitude.

Oh, and did I mention that I got WAY more than I gave? How do you put a price on a new perspective?
