This is Moses. Today, he’s a forty-seven-year-old successful farmer and father of four living in Uganda.
However, five years ago, Moses’s life was very different. Like many people who live in the plush green hills of Central Uganda, Moses lived in poverty, which means, he couldn’t provide food for his family, regular medical check-ups, or afford for his children to get an education.
In 2006, somebody in the United States began sponsoring Moses’s second-to-youngest daughter through World Vision’s child sponsorship program. Grateful for the help, Moses decided that it was time for a change. A farmer, Moses sat down and wrote for the first time a five-year vision statement for his farm.
In addition to his mission statement, Moses also wrote out a plan/strategy to achieve his goals.
With World Vision’s help… just 14 months shy of March 7, 2011, Moses is well on his way to out performing his goals.
Smiling proudly and clearly excited we were there, Moses asked if we wanted a tour of his now 11-acre farm.
“That’s my Momma,” said Moses as we walked toward his fields. She smiled when he said that.
Before showing us his crops, Moses allowed us a peek at the newest edition to his farm: 50 laying hens. “Only had ’em four days,” he said, “No eggs yet, but they’ll come.”

The first few steps into Moses’s field, a wealth of life.
Coffee beans. “The red ones are ready to harvest,” Moses tells us.
Jackfruit, a well-known and well-loved crop in Eastern Africa.
Bananas.

World Vision gave Moses a cow in 2006. However, the cow died in 2007. “But I managed to buy me another one,” Moses says, smiling.
Everywhere I looked I saw signs of life…
Signs of hard work…
Signs of hope…
For Moses, a child sponsorship from World Vision wasn’t simply a handout, it offered him and his family a new way to live.
A new beginning.
By America’s standards, Moses is still poor, still living in poverty. But don’t say that to him.
As far as he’s concerned, he’s one of the richest men on earth, living the “American dream.”
And I would have to agree.
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
