Uganda: 8 — The Inner Wheel of Kampala

Uganda 2007 — Album 8
Our overseas partner in Uganda is an organization of women called the Inner Wheel of Kampala. This is a Rotary club composed of women who place "service above self."

Strong, capable, and exceptionally well organized, these women have completed the demanding responsibilities leading up to the distribution. They have obtained competitive quotes to achieve the best price and quality of bedkit items. They have worked with remote village administrators to gain their trust so the distribution can go forward. Their efforts have resulted in the selection of 5,000 very needy children who will receive the precious gifts. They also provided a detailed financial report.

These Angels of Africa are important models for the young girls in the villages we visit.

This may be the very first time they have seen a women in a leadership role!
