Just Like My Child Foundation Celebration

December 30th, 2008
Just Like My Child Foundation has decided to take some time out to reflect on all of the successes they've had with Bishop Asili Hospital, who is their partner here on the ground in Uganda. What better way to appreciate this impeccable collaboration than with a party?! The staff of Bishop Asili Hospital works very hard day in and day out to ensure that Just Like My Child projects among other things are moving forward. Without Bishop Asili's determination and will, Just Like My Child's efforts to tackle poverty in the community would be for not. Just Like My Child Foundation applaudes Bishop Asili for all of their hard work and dedication.

Everyone sat together for a delicious meal to provide us with the energy needed to "shake our bones" as Ugandans would say in reference to dancing. As per Ugandan cultural protocol I was asked to give a speech to officially begin the celebration and open up the dance floor. They asked that I choose a dance partner to start things off, so that others could join in.
