The final bus, I mean blog of the day...

We had decided that we wanted the children who are sponsored through i.HUG to have more than their physical needs taken care of. We also wanted them to have the opportunity to develop the skills to cope with the lives they have. Many of the i.HUG children are orphans. Almost all have had to face death in way that I as a 28 year old have not had to yet - the death of a parent or a sibling or a friend. So, our first baby step in this direction is to organize a group for our children which focuses on having / developing a healthy self-esteem. This group will run for 2 weeks for 2 hours a day in the first 2 weeks of September. Our two faciliatators are Ronald Lubali and Mark Webster. Both have a lot of experience with children and the running of groups. I have a strong conviction that this group will impact these children greatly in the immediate present and the distant future.
