Caring Hands to Receive Uganda's President's Export Award

09/15/2008 — Christopher R. Wigginton

Milla Happonen of Caring Hands in Kampala, Uganda holding up the invitation to the President's Export Award ceremony.

An update we received from Milla Happonen of Caring Hands in Uganda:

We received a surprise phone call and visit from Uganda's Export Promotion Board. They informed us that Caring Hands will receive the President's Export Award. It will be presented at a ceremony on October the 3rd by the person whose name is on the award - the president of Uganda himself, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. The recognition is awarded because of the "value added" that we give to exports — working with the poor, HIV and AIDS, orphans, gender, people with disabilities, employment, recycling, using available resources, starting the organization without capital, etc.
