During my mission trip to Mozambique, Africa, I had the opportunity to help feed and care for children and families in need. We worked closely with the local community, providing meals, support, and love to those facing extreme hardships. The experience deeply impacted me, opening my eyes to the challenges people face daily and making me truly grateful for the little things in life. It reinforced the importance of compassion, service, and the power of small acts of kindness to make a lasting difference.
