One of the definitions of Passion (Greek πασχω and late Latin (Christian theology) pati: "suffer") is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something.

Recently, thru one of our #KidsArt training sessions, we witnessed the true meaning of the word "PASSION" when irrespective of the limitations, the Kids' desire for the program compelled them to do whatever it took to produce their work against all odds.

Most of the problems affecting our society in Africa are deeply rooted in poverty. From street kids to hunger, child abandonment and homelessness the list goes on. Our strategy to curb them is thru skills development especially among youths who are the backbone of this great nation.

It is always refreshing when you meet a Pastor in the rural area with such a big vision for the young people. Pastor Pastor Fred Wangwa from Bungokho, Mbale District is such a great visionary and it was such a pleasure for me to meet him. Am so excited and looking forward to the fruits of this great Partnership between Iris Mission Africa and the Church to see our young people get skills that will empower them to fight unemployment and poverty.
