Through MacKenzie's Eyes
Each team member will have their own distinct journey. Here are a few pictures of Uganda through the eyes of MacKenzie Yates.
School Ministry at Ntare High School
Wow! What an amazing experience I (Melody) am having! I am learning so much about the culture here in Uganda. I have been surprised by many things, and I believe the Ugandans have been surprised by some things about me as well. For example, I am a part of the praise and worship team here, and I...
