"My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" ~Thomas Jefferson
In 2005 Tomi Mills moved to Uganda to play a role in changing the lives of those around her. In 2006 Nicole Mills moved to Uganda with Tomi to help establish Kids Inspiring Kids. A few weeks later Uganda had a "democratic" election between the current president, Yoweri Museveni, and Kizza Besigye. It was the first multiparty election since Museveni had taken power in 1986. However, the elections turned violent with large demonstrations and rioting when Besigye was arrested for treason. Museveni ultimately and unconstitutionally won the 2006 elections.
The next Ugandan presidential election will take place in 2011. Demonstrations and riots have already started taking place in and around the capitol city of Kampala.
So, on this incredibly special day when the whole of America remembers and celebrates the birth of nation take a moment to be especially grateful for the freedoms you experience every day. They are unique and an unmeasurable gift. "It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you."
Sincerely,

Alfred:
Alfred has been one of the top leaders in the Kids Saturday Character Training Program for several years. He has a wonderful heart and is very faithful to the program. A few weeks ago he was in an auto accident bumped his head and wounded his hand. Unfortunately the "bump" on the head has proved more serious than originally thought. Since the accident he has been having issues functioning in even simple tasks. He is currently operating on the level of a three year old. Please keep him in your prayers that his mind returns to its natural state.
Angela:
