Something Interesting


hey so today i think that i will write about something interesting for a change. this is the story as far as i know (which isnt much). so there is this girl who is sponsored at the school who used to live with her grandmother. well apparently her grandmother died and her mother took her away from the school for a while to live with her in the village. well... her mom just dropped her back off early in the morning yesterday. she is about 3 years old and had a hard time getting along with the other kids. cara noticed this and decided to show her special attention and tried to help her. well we found out 2 things. the first is that she didnt know a word of english(which is normal cause you star to learn it when you are about 4-5) or a word of luganda. apparently she only knew her moms language. well the other kids kept trying to talk to her, but when she kept getting frustrated and tried to hit them. the second thing is that she was very sick (i think it was malaria) and cara took her to the clinic. well eventually they came back and she was still very upset and just miserable, so cara decided to take her home for the night. cara cared for her all night long, by feeding her, bathing her, and basically holding and showing love to her all night until they fell asleep.(that happened last night) well this morning i went to the school and found her in a much better mood and getting along better with the kids. had cara not done this for her she would probably still be the miserable little kid that she was yesterday. so basically i was touched by the love of God that cara displayed to this girl and i am very glad to have her in my life as a role model that i can look up to.
