Drina's Dreams

This past week has been such a humbling experience. HALO was featured on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric Wednesday night and it has been such a humbling experience.

Drina at the Mengo Home in Ugand

HALO has grown with the help of people like you. Hundreds of people with huge hearts and the ability to respond. If everyone brings their skill or compassion to the table, we are able to reach more children in need. Children like Drina.

Drina is an 8 year old girl who was abandoned on the streets of Uganda at a very young age. She is now living in a HALO supported home where she loves to dance and is a very fast runner. Drina dreams of being an accountant someday and with her high scores in Math, she is well on her way. Drina is the most energetic of the house. She is always giggling and running around with a lot of energy. If there is something funny, there is no hiding it! She slaps her hand over her mouth and starts belly laughing.

With the help of our HALO Hero, HALO Helper, and 1for30 programs, Drina will will have the opportunity to reach her dreams and she will never again have to worry about being abandoned. Thank you to our supporters who have signed up to look out for her future! Click here to learn more about helping children like Drina reach their dreams.
