Joy That Lasts: Candice’s Reflection from Uganda

I can’t stop singing the praises of OneWorld Health.
From start to finish, this journey was more than a trip—it was a profoundly moving experience that will stay with me forever.
The OneWorld Health team in Uganda was nothing short of exceptional. Each day began with inspiring breakfasts and heartfelt devotions that grounded us in purpose. We shared stories, laughter, and moments of reflection that deepened our connection not only to the mission but to each other.
But what lingers with me most isn’t found on an itinerary—it’s the joy and gratitude of the people we served.
Their radiant smiles, their warmth, their openness—they continue to brighten my days back home, reminding me of the beauty that exists when hearts meet across cultures.
These memories have been etched into my heart, serving as a daily reminder that sometimes the simplest acts of service bring the greatest joy—not just to those we serve, but to those of us who have the privilege of serving.
