We were accompanied by Musa Ecweru, Uganda’s Minister of State for Refugees. He is a good, kind man who says what he does is not a job but a calling which comes from the heart. When introducing us to speak to the refugees he said, “The purpose of humanitarian service is to reduce pain and deliver hope. The LDS Church works quietly, without need for publicity, to help the Ugandan people who are in need”; a great statement of our purpose here.

"Everything must have a beginning"
Children at an orphanage in Entebbe, Uganda. There are so many children here it is incredible; there are orphans everywhere. The people take them in and it is not unusual to see families struggling with 8-10 children. We talked to a woman yesterday who has taken in twelve children. She said, "sometimes I feel sad that I cannot do more, but everything must have a beginning". We have decided to use that as our personal reminder to guide our actions here as we try to help.
