"I don’t feel I have words to express the emotional connections I formed with the girls and women of the IDP camp the day we presented the care packs. In the scheme of things it seems only a small thing for us to have done, but their faces expressed so much hope for improvement of their circumstance, that it honestly fuels me through anything life throws my way.
It’s funny how the gift of empowerment is of more value than that of something tangible..." - Kahlia
