Life and my future, and making myself better than I am.
Each and every child in Northern Uganda fighting to live, fighting to smile, fighting to breathe and be happy, when all their lives they've encountered the worst atrocities known to man. They are heroes, saviors, and tragedies--all wrapped in the smallest, most beautiful human beings.
