With many centers and schools for children with disabilities in Kampala, God enabled many key people to organize an Awareness March along Jinja Road and a Sports Gala (field day) on June 7, 2014. About 500 students with disabilities marched with signs, stopping traffic, to raise awareness on inclusive education. The students, parents, and teachers also gathered to enjoy a day of games, fellowship, and food after the march down Jinja road in the city. Under the surface, these parents and
teachers were encouraged beyond anything I can express. They are living in a country where disabilities are despised and these children are mistreated, so knowing they are not alone is very encouraging. God made these children in His image and they deserve to be loved, especially with the love of Jesus.
