Sharing Love On The Other Side Of The World BY CATHY MOLITORIS

W
Uganda and Kenya in July and August of this past summer, helping at Gem Village near Kampala and at Jesus Hobbs House of Hope School and Children’s Home near Nairobi. The experience left her with a renewed appreciation for creature comforts, a revitalized love for service and a strong desire to do it all again. “Everyone should travel to a Third-World country,” Kidd said. “It really puts things in perspective.” Kidd learned about Gem Village through a friend. “I thought, ‘This is such an amazing place,’” she recalled of the organization that provides a home for disabled and special needs children. “Their vision is inspiring.” She traveled to the 88-acre village and spent time with the children, who range in age from preschoolers through high-schoolers. “I mostly fed the children and played with the kids,” she said. The
organization provides housing, school and opportunities for worship. Plans are in the works to expand the assisted living programming to children who age out of care at age 18 and to bring a doctor to work at the on-site clinic, which will also be open to members of the surrounding community. Kidd also traveled to Jesus Hobbs House of Hope after learning about the organization through a former pastor at her church, Grace Community Fellowship in Manheim. The organization offers a home to 17 children who have been orphaned or who have been sent to the home by social services. As she did at her first stop, Kidd spent time playing with the children and learning about the organization’s mission. Although the circumstances surrounding the lives of the residents of both locations may be grim, Kidd emphasized that joy was abundant. “You could tell the children in both places were loved,” she said. “You could tell that they had experienced the love of God.”
