and actions as a community of healthy living learners that
makes a difference in the world around us?

| Canadian team getting ready for their game agains Uganda Fair Ball |
The Ugandan team hosted Canada for a baseball game It made me feel very devastated that
after they weren't allowed to go to the US to play. the Ugandan team could not fly to
the US. It made me feel sad that some of
the kids from the Ugandan team could
not get their birth certificate because
they were abandoned by their parents.
It made me feel happy to see that lots of
the kids from the Canadian team really
bonded with the Ugandan team. Emily
