While Natalie spent hours reading up on Ugandan culture and cuisine to make Eva’s transition from Uganda a bit smoother. Finally, the day arrived for the first meeting. They packed their bags, their hearts pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The flight to Uganda was long and filled with anticipation.
They spent the night wide awake with the exhilaration of meeting Eva. When they arrived at the orphanage, the sight of the dilapidated building brought tears to Natalie’s eyes. The walls were cracked, and the playground was nothing more than a patch of dirt with a few broken swings. Children played with makeshift toys, their laughter a stark contrast to the harsh conditions.
