(Excerpt - Chicken Soup for the Soul)

Thrown away the night before, a newborn child lay motionless on the filthy sidewalk. Hungry street dogs attacked this tiny, defenseless, infant boy, in the night. The next morning passersby caught sight of the horrific sight of his ravaged remains, Agnes was among them. All she could do was weep. Her heart cried, “God, please help me to rescue the suffering babies of Uganda.” God gave her the vision for an abandonded baby home.

This horrific sight is not at all unusual. Commonly, unwanted babies are thrown alive into trash dumpsters and pit toilets. In a country decimated by AIDs, wars, and extreme poverty, innocent children suffer intensely. Yet, in the midst of these deplorable conditions–there is hope. Aggie’s Baby Home is providing a safe, warm place for the abandoned babies of Uganda.
