Ugandan Friends
In the fall of 2017 I went on my first trip to Africa with a group called Fields of Dreams Uganda. Their mission is to provide hope to the orphaned and vulnerable children of Uganda through the vehicles of soccer and education. We visited schools and I met a lot of amazing children. It was a life-changing trip in many ways. I was touched by the warmth and grace of the Ugandan people. This sketch is from a meeting with some of the school administrators when we went to Gulu, in northern Uganda. I tried to capture the light and grace of their faces.
