Hi, Friend,

Remember when you first learned to iron? (Or maybe, like me, you tried to avoid it altogether!)

Here's our young friend at Mustard Seed Academy, confidently using a charcoal iron to press her gym shorts and uniform. At an age when I was trying to dodge the electric iron and ironing board, she's mastering this life skill with a cheerful spirit—no modern conveniences needed.

Watch for another glimpse of Ugandan life in next month's Fourth Friday Foto. Until then, stay cool!
