We at RII endeavoured to bring smiles and show appreciation to new mothers.The celebration of mothers at Kawaala Referral Hospital, Uganda, was a thoroughly exciting and joyous event.Over 45 mothers were given gift hampers with diapers and baby wipes which were of great need to them. The Uganda Team, presented these surprise gifts to mothers and babies in the post natal ward.They encouraged the new mothers and showed them that they were appreciated for their great effort and successful ability to bring new life into the world. They were also encouraged to express any needs and challenges that they may be experiencing and were introduced to the RII Organisation and signposted to other institutions that could offer support and assistance.To experience the happy smiles on the faces of the new mothers and feel the joy that emanated within that environment on that day, was indeed an amazing privilege.The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Happiness as;a state of well-being, contentment, and joy.We at RII, appreciate and delight in every opportunity where we can be humble stewards and distributors of happiness.A Special Thank you to the new mothers for accepting our gifts and to the Management and Staff of Kawalla Referral Hospital, for granting us access and the opportunity to successfully accomplish this endeavour.Newsletter written by Elana Victor.
