    Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking my 23 year old daughter to the airport as she embarks upon a journey that will change her life and undoubtedly many more. She is flying to the continent of Africa and will begin teaching and caring for HIV positive children in an orphanage in Fort Portal, Uganda. So for my baby girl, Bronwyn, yes tomorrow I will have tears in my eyes as we say goodbye, but they will not only be tears of sadness at your leaving, but tears of a proud and happy father whose daughter wants to improve the lives of others through her efforts. You will make the world a better place. That I know. :)

                                      Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking my 23 year old daughter to the airport as she embarks upon a journey that will change her life and undoubtedly many more. She is flying to the continent of Africa and will begin teaching and caring for HIV positive children in an orphanage in Fort Portal, Uganda. So for my baby girl, Bronwyn, yes tomorrow I will have tears in my eyes as we say goodbye, but they will not only be tears of sadness at your leaving, but tears of a proud and happy father whose daughter wants to improve the lives of others through her efforts. You will make the world a better place. That I know. :)

                                      Wow, that is awesome. Is she doing this on her own, or is this part of a church-based mission?

                                        Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking my 23 year old daughter to the airport as she embarks upon a journey that will change her life and undoubtedly many more. She is flying to the continent of Africa and will begin teaching and caring for HIV positive children in an orphanage in Fort Portal, Uganda.
