Andrew Litman, Haley Litman, Dave Ellen
During our weekly meeting, Dave Ellen introduced us to Andrew Litman and Haley Litman. They are representatives of the I Choose You Ministry, which provides support to marginalized people living in the outskirts of Mbale, Uganda, specifically in a slum area called Namatala. The people living in this area are forced to scavenge through trash piles for food, and many of the children are abandoned or orphaned, putting them at high risk of disease, AIDS, starvation, or even turning to a life of crime. The goal of the I Choose You Ministry is to provide students with school uniforms, fees, and supplies, as well as food, hygiene supplies, and medical treatment.
