While we have some hurricane Harvey time isolated at home in South Texas I find some spare time to reflect on an important opportunity Kirabo Seeds discovered during our last visit. Not more than a five minute walk around the corner is a home for orphaned and abandoned babies. It is called Oasis Children’s home. … Continue reading Kirabo Seeds Give Back to their Community
