I had the most incredible experience at the organization and would truly recommend it ! Abraham is such a kind, welcoming and beautiful person. He is so dedicated to make a difference and help everyone around him. I felt so comfortable and welcomed by everyone. The best part really was the people in general, discovering the culture and the children. I feel truly lucky to have been able to be a part of this and be welcomed with open arms . I have learned so much and i hope to be back very soon !

Abraham is an incredible host! He demonstrates good values, morals and an ability to truly make an incredible change. I have spent time at other foundations around Jinja, Uganda and I can easily say this was the best experience I've had. I felt safe, comfortable and apart of a true home. Cannot wait to return and experience it all over again. The children are incredible and the experience was wonderful. Thank you Abraham and all those involved at the community
