Love and Be LovedBeing in the fashion industry has always been a dream for me; the color, the creativity, the drive to be one step ahead of the coming trends. At the end of the day I may have the joy of making someone very happy on their special day but rarely are lives changed because of my makeup skills. For as long as I can remember I have had what I call "a heart shaped hole in my heart for Africa”. Especially when it comes to the numerous orphans and child headed households
left behind by war and HIV. My friends and family and I travel frequently to the country of Uganda and have sponsored children there and in other countries for 15 years. If I could scoop every last one of these babies and take them home with me to a safe place where they will always be loved I would. Logistically this is an impossibility but I can send them to school, encourage them, love them and make sure that their lives are just a little bit easier. Who do you have a hole in your heart so see loved? If your not sure you can always start with the person in front of you. |
