The Price of Stones
“Our Father who art in heaven….”
Every day in Uganda, fourteen hundred mothers pass HIV on to their newborns.
“Hallowed be they name…..”
Fourteen hundred deaths.
“They Kingdom Come….”
Fourteen hundred graves.
“Thy will be done…”
Red earth drummed onto fourteen hundred coffins.
“On earth as it is in heaven.”
If only I could do more.
~Twesigye Jackson Kaguri from his book The Price of Stones
Rather than get lost in his grief, Twesigye founded a school, Nyaka AIDS Orphans School. He did it one brick at a time, turning hope into action. It’s an amazing story, a must read, a great holiday gift. Buy one for you and give one away!
