Even though 18-year-old Mirembe Zabasajja (pictured below right with her grandmother and sister) has been raised in the United States, it is at her grandmothers house in Namutumba, Uganda, where she feels at home. Mirembe writes: Namutumba, Uganda, and my small hometown in New Jersey are like two different worlds: I live in the suburbs, where people hide behind their big brick houses and fancy cars. They pretend to have picture-perfect lives. Namutumba is a village filled with small shops and houses made of mud bricks; however, everyone here is so happy. Although they have little, they have everything. They have each other. They don’t get to hide behind superficial things like people do here. Namutumba has taught me to appreciate the little things in life. Little things most of us here in the United States do not even think about.... Who has had this experience?
