Lacey Roberts<\/a> is a Field of Hope Volunteer. This is her story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to stay in that moment forever, but in the same breath I realized that I have a great responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lacey joined a FOH team while she was already in Uganda as part of a fellowship through Oklahoma State University\u2019s Master of International Agriculture Program (MIAP)<\/a>. Her collaboration with FOH reaffirmed that we all can have a role in impacting people, and feel impact in return. \u201cDuring my week with FOH, I learned that I had a part to play, no matter how small, in making a difference,\u201d Lacey said. \u201cI learned that I am working in the right field of agriculture, that it matches my heart’s desires and my God-given skills. I honestly learned that I am braver than I give myself credit for, and that I still have so much more growing to do as a career woman and a human being.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lacey saw international agricultural development in action, and shared how FOH makes good on their stewardship mission. \u201cI was able to visit many donation areas and see first-hand how students and classrooms are using donated drip systems to apply agricultural lessons learned in the classroom,\u201d She said. \u201cThrough education and empowerment, FOH is working towards a stronger future for Uganda, and that is something I like to stand behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, every FOH volunteer takes away genuine and authentic passion for the people they meet, and the connection they share. \u201cI continue to think about those children I met and laughed with,\u201d Lacey said. \u201cI hope that as they grow they are met with a world that is improved and ready for all the discoveries they will make\u201d<\/p>\n

Join us as we meet Lacey\u2019s call for an improved and ready world.<\/p>\n

This is Lacey\u2019s story. What will yours be?<\/p>\n
