Independence Day in the United States is a celebration of freedom, self-determination, and the pursuit of a better future. As we commemorate the birth of our nation, it's also a fitting time to reflect on the universal values of liberty and empowerment. One remarkable way to honor these principles is by supporting initiatives that provide educational opportunities to children in need around the world, such as The First 50 Charity, USA's efforts in Uganda.
