AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of the United Nations’ World Children’s Day on November 20, a collective of Austin-area child welfare organizations today announced their commitment to advancing family-based care as the universal best practice for caring for orphaned and vulnerable children as opposed to residential care.

Mr. Kenneth Katungisa taught me how to be generous. During the course of my high school, it reached a time when my parents could no longer pay my school dues. During my Form two second term holiday, there’s a richman’s home where I went to work(cut down a tree), I accomplished my work as instructed.

“Generosity” used to be just a word that I knew but didn’t understand. Luckily I got to know the true meaning of it when I got a foster Mother. She gave me time, gifts and much more but most importantly her attitude towards giving made me fall in love with giving too! She said “ giving makes both me happy and the one I am giving.”

I learned giving from the community that I live in and that is Cherish Uganda, Cherish Uganda gives expecting nothing, doing it to God but even times as we people we give expecting in return and it gave me a big lesson that giving is not all about expecting.
