How the light began to radiate
A few years ago, I, Heike Rath, fulfilled my personal wish to get to know a bit of Africa, and to personally engage in becoming a nurse there. Since then, I have been working in Gulu, Uganda several times per year.
Due to my many experiences there, it became clear how important long-term and targeted help is in this country. Thanks to the generous support of friends, on May 28th 2010, we founded the association ‘Lightray Uganda’. The goal of this organization is to help the children.
