From Struggle to Triumph: Angel Lamara's Journey Toward Healing

Take a stroll through the vibrant yet humble paths of Ogul Village, Gulu, Uganda, and you'll encounter a vivacious soul named Angel Lamara. This ten-year-olds world is filled with simple joys — skipping ropes, playing with toys, and engaging in fun games of hide-and-seek. The local flavours of beans, peas, and beef are her favorite meals, each bite's a reminder of her home and community's culinary heritage.

Angel's life took a tragic turn in 2016 when she lost her mother. Suddenly, her world was turned upside down, and her grandmother's home became her refuge. Despite the substantial challenge of caring for Angel and thirteen other dependents, her grandmother has shown nothing but determination and tenacity. She toils in other people's farms as a casual labourer, and her small farm's excess crops help meet the family's needs. However, the weight of providing food, home repairs, medical expenses, and most importantly, Angel's education expenses, is pushing her to her limits.

Amidst this adversity, Angel carries within her a flicker of hope that shines brighter each day. Her dream? To become a nurse and provide care to those who are ill. It's a goal driven by her empathetic heart and desire to bring relief and comfort to others, traits that hint at an incredible future caregiver in the making.
