The Meaning of Love

Thoughts on Love From Uganda & Peru

Love can have many meanings to different people, but one thing we can agree on is that love is something that we should share with our family, friends and even strangers in order to leave a positive mark on the world. Valentine’s Day is a great reminder that love is all around us, and it's up to us to cultivate it and show the ones we love our appreciation and admiration for them. We asked ladies in our programs in Uganda and Peru what love means to them, and we're very excited to share their heartfelt answers with you today! “Love is something that can unite strangers together, something that can turn a burning heart into laughter and smiles.
