Though I’ve spent my fair share of time this week soul-searching and emotionally lamenting all of the circumstances and experiences I’ve encountered in Uganda, ultimately, this isn’t about me or my emotions. As a writer and a person of faith, it’s easy for me to get caught up in “me.” Of course, more than you will ever know, my experiences during the last eight days has made me want to change, and hopefully the changes I make in my own life will be good and helpful to some degree. But let’s be honest: If this trip was only about “my change,” I should stop writing and you should stop reading…
But it’s not about me and my personal change.
Today I saw real change, change that started with something that World Vision was doing for people. Today, I met people who once had to walk day’s journey to get cleaner pumping clean water in their own community. I witnessed people pursuing healthier lives. I watched as forty or so children learned the truth about HIV-AIDS. I hugged people who were cheering because a health center that World Vision erected allowed them the benefit of receiving their vaccinations without having to walk miles and miles to do so. I met people who were learning how to grow crops in their own backyard.
As some of you know, I’ve been working with World Vision in some capacity for four years. Since the beginning I’ve believed in their work to help suffering children and families all over the world. But this week I witnessed World Vision working. The gatherings of people I met weren’t about me getting to meet poor people–any ministry or non-profit–can introduce me or anybody else to poverty. But sadly, not nearly as many can show somebody poverty and then tell them how they are planning to change that poverty into sustainable living. During my time as an author and speaker, I’ve worked alongside many non-profit organizations/ministries, and most of them have good intentions and are helpful to a certain degree. But when you’re entrusting a certain amount of money to a ministry or non-profit on behalf of a child, good intentions don’t often lead to sustainability.
So I thought I’d give you my personal reasons as to why I love and believe in World Vision… and why I trust them to do their best to not simply save people’s lives… but to help them live better lives…
I believe in World Vision…
