About This Trip February 10–18, 2008
In February, 2008, 15 bloggers set off on the first ever Compassion Bloggers trip. In Uganda we fought bats and mosquitos, spotted lions and hippos, played with children ministered to by Compassion International, visited an AIDS hospital and blogged the whole incredible week. Experience this historic first blogging trip by a child sponsorship organization all over again through the words, pictures and videos archived here.

In Which I Am Humbled Again And Again
Posted Feb 20, 2008 by Sophie 
There are lots of sights and sounds from Uganda that will stay with me forever, but for some reason last Tuesday’s home visit seems to be on constant replay in my mind.

Yesterday I met the boy we sponsor through Compassion. All this time we thought his name was Mukanga Dissan, but it turns out that Dissan is actually his first name.
We all met at a well-known Chinese food restaurant (yes, I came to Africa to eat Chinese food), and the Compassion workers brought in the children.
