Never Give Up: My life story from Uganda to Iona (Paperback)

Life on Iona has helped Dora grow into a loving, caring, kind, humorous young woman who never gives up looking for the goodness in people. Even amidst challenges that life brings, she still believes that nothing is permanent and that things can only get better. In fact, she sees the challenges as a means to growth. The book expresses her struggles, humour, love, loss and her ability to forgive, along with a positive attitude of never giving up and enjoying life in all its fullness. When asked what she misses from her home in Uganda, she replies, "people" and what will she miss when she leaves Iona? Again, the answer is "people". Despite Dora's love for ketchup and chicken, people are still the most important aspect of her life. While on Iona, Dora has been raising money to build accessible toilets for children with disabilities. You can find out more about this project and donate at:
