Meet My Soul Sister: Mum-of-13 Maria

Posted on September 20, 2017September 20, 2017 By Larger Family Life

  The chances we have in life are, for the best part, dictated to us by the lottery of where we are born. The result of my birthplace, and subsequently that of my children, means that we have an extremely fortunate life.

A Day in the Slums of Uganda: Doreen’s Home

    As the minibus drove over to Doreen’s home I tried to prepare myself for what we were to see. How would I feel, finally finding out how Doreen actually lived? It doesn’t matter what you think you know about a person or their situation, until you are faced with the reality of it,… Read More

Katuuso: Where the Kids Break Out of Poverty Themselves

Posted on July 25, 2017July 25, 2017 By Larger Family Life

  In fact, that’s what all Compassion Projects get the kids to do. It’s kind of like me refusing to tidy my children’s rooms because, no matter how much they moan or complain or insist that they already did half of it, leaving me to question whether it’s the ceiling half they are referring to,… Read More
