This is the final newsletter that will be sent from this address. Starting next week our sender email address will be news@musicalambassadorsofpeace.org. Please know that we appreciate your patience with this transition. We wanted to be sure that everyone got the word before we made the change. 

For a few weeks we will send emails from both addresses to be sure that you are able to make the shift with us. If you find that our emails are landing in your spam or junk folder, you will need to add our new address to your contacts and white-list news@musicalambassadorsofpeace.org. Here are instructions for whitelisting. We don't want to lose anyone in this transition, and hope to stay connected with all of you who care about our work!

The Inspiring Story of Abaho Gift Conrad
Our Musical Ambassador in Uganda, Abaho Gift Conrad, was raised in the local refugee camps. He escaped from the Rwanda genocide at age one and a half. His mother hid him in a vegetable garden just before she was killed along with the rest of his family and neighbors. He was found by a woman who carried him to safety in Uganda where together they made a life in a refugee camp.  

As a refugee, sleeping on an empty stomach was normal. But Abaho did well in school which gave him more opportunities. He eventually succeeded in becoming multi-lingual and decided to write an autobiography in English so that others could know what life is like as a refugee living in the camps in Uganda.

In his book Abaho tells of his personal desire to devote his life to the well-being of fellow refugees and describes the organization that he has founded. 

“Now I can no longer think about the world without crying about how lucky I have been, one child saved from dying of either starvation or wild animals in that sorghum garden long ago. Apparently someone thought that I could survive, testify and give hope to my fellow underprivileged refugees. How I wish I could give a thousand chances to such people all over the world.”

“I am just one person who now needs to help my fellow underprivileged people to realize that guns, bullets, war, diseases and despair are not the things that define us a human beings.”
