You may have noticed the change in our name! Since returning from Uganda, a few of the women who went on the trip with me decided to to work together to create a group called, "Sattva Uganda," pronounced "suht-vuh," which means "illumination" in Sanskrit.  Sattva encompasses light, clarity and understanding.  Our mission is to raise awareness about the situation in Uganda and create projects in support of education and family sustainability.  Short term goals include providing an education for children living in the Acholi Quarters, as well as inspire them to give back to their own community.  Long term goals include moving families out of the slums and back to their homes in northern Uganda.  We're currently in the process of finding a partner organization to work with that's already established in Uganda, to help us carry out our new vision.
