Inspiration from Africa

The story below about Lillian, an AIDS orphan in Uganda, is all too common. Throughout Africa it is very common for these children to be taken in by aunts and grandmothers. There are 1,200,000 AIDS/HIV orphans in Uganda and an equal number in  Tanzania. The pictures below are from our trip to Tanzania in 2011, where we had the joy and opportunity to visit a boarding home of a program called Help for the Maasai, founded and run by Angelica Kinsey, a Lutheran Deaconess missionary from Germany.  Angelica is a delightful servant of the Lord who has worked with the Maasai people for almost 30 years.  She is now married to our good friend Erwin Kinsey who we have known for many years.
