Hello! My name is Donalyn. I have the amazing honor and privilege of joining Hope Speaks to help serve children and families in Kampala, Uganda.  Hope Speaks brings hope and raises the voices of children with disabilities and their families' through empowerment and education.  Due to the lack of information, children with disabilities are often hidden and shunned away from society in developing countries.  It is my hope and passion to make a difference by helping these children improve their quality of life through speech therapy, advocacy, resources, and parent training.

Hope Speaks is a wonderful ministry that helps children with special needs in Kampala, Uganda.  1 in 7 children are living with a disability.  Their main ministry is providing Speech Therapy to hundreds of children.  They teach them to swallow, chew, understand and express language, and so much more.  Many of the volunteers are Speech-Language Pathology grad students, as well as Speech Therapy professionals.  This will help them reach many more children with these services.  Hope Speaks has gone beyond that and also includes hosting other groups who help with projects, food for families, children's day camps, and serving in low income areas.

Every donation is important and will enable me to be present and help children with special needs in Uganda.  Would you kindly consider making a donation?  Also, I would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.  Thank you so much for being a part of my life and helping me accomplish something that's important to all of us!  Blessings!
