Mother of three children, she lives in Kampala, Uganda, where she is a volunteer
at the Meeting Point International (*). She became involved with Meeting Point after asking the center to help her and her youngest son. She said: “Every time I welcome sick people at the center, I tell them that the value of life is greater than the virus that they carry inside them. This feeds the hope of a person who suffers and is dying, and brings him or her back to life.”
(*) Meeting Point International is a body of volunteers charged with caring for women with AIDS in Uganda. Although they provide medical care for treatment of their sickness, they hold that more important than administering medicine is to ‘value’ their life greater than their sickness.
