Day 226: How Much $ Does it Take to Start an Shelter in Uganda? Do you Have to Be Oprah?Last night I attended a fundraiser for the Akin Afrika Foundation that is building a shelter in Uganda. This foundation and shelter in Uganda has been started by a remarkable women by the name of Chelsea Peters. Chelsea and her partner Morris have started on a journey that will allow their foundation to take children off the streets of Lira, Uganda and give them a roof over their heads, food, water, cloths and most importantly hope for their future. I did a post on her mission (Day 209) just a few weeks ago and I wanted to continue to support her in any way I could . Here is my interview with Chelsea Peters. She is changing the world one day and truly one child at a time. Here is her story.Day 226: Give 226httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH3ZQTMQz0MLast night Chelsea raised $4137.00 for her foundation. Friends and family came to support her inspirational work. To date, in just a few weeks, Chelsea has raised enough money to get the shelter up and running. But this is just the beginning.
