Welcome to episode 228!  We have some great inspiration for you in this episode.  We are still working out some sound issues, and hope to have that dialed in soon.  This episode is filled with kids.  We talk about some foster family success stories, a young man who started speaking out against bullying at the age of eight and is still going more than 15 years later, and the Masaka Kids Africana, a group of African children whose dance videos are funding a home for more than 200 children in Uganda.  This episode will inspire you, but you also have to watch these kids dance.  I guarantee it will put a smile on your face.  You can find out more and see some of their dance videos at  www.masakakidsafricana.com [http://www.masakakidsafricana.com].     #BeKind #WeStandWithUkraine We would love to hear from you.
