From the bottom of her heart, this remark was made by one of the beneficiaries of Project Build phase I in December 2010 during our interactive and experience sharing party between the oversee project build volunteers and the beneficiaries in Attiak. It was a real moment of joy and funs in the hall; and Ayot Jeska was delighted by her new home constructed by the volunteers stood up and said “deeply in my heart, my Son Oneka (in Acholi culture being referred by any Mother’s as a son/daughter is a real and great honored), I can’t thank you enough; I feel no son of this soil (referring to son of Attiak village) has ever stood for the very needy in this village like you have done! And to Holly, may thanks for coming back to Attiak and for bringing all these volunteers to build for us homes; This demonstrate the true heart you have for us and the people of Attiak! “May Almighty God Give Endless Blessing to YOU all for building us homes”. There she ended her remark and sat down! Instantly, there was silence in the room as every body was so touched by her words; and I almost shed tears in the room but also felt honored! What do we/you learnt from Jeska remark? To me “Never Undermine the Power of your action or donation, to the world you may be one person but to others you may be the world” Your $1 support to the needy around the world can make a real difference in the lives of others.
