Dreaming

I dream about Uganda. At night, I go to bed and during my dreams scenes from the Ugandan country side slide through my head. Dancing with children, meeting with mothers so desperate to help their kids, meeting with men who are hopeless and have given up to drink their lives away. At night, I leave my comfortable mattress, in my warm home in the middle of the United States and travel to Africa in my dreams. I was really close to landing a job that would have put me in south eastern Africa. I was so excited to get back to my second home, to work with the people I love. The job didn't pan out. So instead, I visit Uganda in my dreams every night. Praying that someday I will be able to return to my favorite part of the world.
