MobileMagic: Ho Ho Ho...

Before you read on, I’d love it if you would consider supporting Child’s I with a small monthly donation. They are an amazing small organisation working in Uganda to help abandoned babies be reunited with their families. If no family members can be traced, then Child’s I find a foster or adoptive family. Child’s I are small and really passionate about what they do. I love them.
