Fish is an expensive product in Uganda. Very rarely do the Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi or their students and children in their care enjoy a high protein meal with any kind of meat. Sister Immaculate wants to help solve this problem.

Part II: Becoming Brothers and Sisters

Making our way through the rubble-strewn streets of Port Au Prince, we came to a sudden halt. Trucks traveling in opposite directions tried to squeeze through a single lane. Mounds of broken concrete, cinder blocks, and mangled rebar swallowed up one side of the road. Amid these jagged mountains of debris, haphazard tents served as the homes of Haitians, young and old.

Part I: To Love One Another

Imagine yourself being a child in Haiti. Put yourself in Joseph’s shoes. Well, in all likelihood, you might not have shoes. If you are lucky, you might have a pair of worn-out sandals. You are eight years old, and you live in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. You and your family are trying to survive on a dollar each day. Your access to clean water is limited, and your access to education is nonexistent.

As you may know, communities in northeastern Nigeria have suffered a recent rash of violence, perpetrated by the terrorist group Boko Haram. Their name means “Western education is forbidden” in the local Hausa language, and they are committed to creating an Islamic state in Nigeria.
