Traveler
Liz Powell of Kassunga Mission Initiative: Kassunga is a village in Southern Uganda filled with positivity and life. For Liz, the minute she steps off the plane in Uganda, she is overwhelmed with the feeling that her soul is home. U’ganda see it to believe it! It took a single trip to Kassunga for the group to get together and begin the Kassunga Mission Initiative. Their mission is to provide more opportunities to the charismatic children of Kassunga through a school called the St. Theresa Learning Center. And they brought back fabric to spread a piece of this bright, cheerful culture with you too…
