Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, a podcast presentation by Hope Media Group and Compassion International,

releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.

In our first episode of Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, we talked with Jay Biro about how his story connects to many of the themes in the Charles Dickens Classic.

Well, this is a final bonus episode from Hope Media Group and Compassion International.

And I'm Wally from The Wally Show on Wayfm. One of the most important and lasting legacies of Dickens, a Christmas Carol, is that people can be redeemed.

And Christmas serves as a transformative reminder that we are all called to love and take care of people.

And while it gets a lot of attention around this time, which is Christmas, it's that spirit that should be lived out throughout the entire

year. And nobody understands this more than Nora Burungi. She is a woman that had her life

transformed by compassion, and today spends her life providing it to others. So, Nora, thank you for

being on with us. Thank you so much for having me. And so we want to go through your story,

kind of Scrooge a Christmas Carol style,

okay? So what that means is we're going to go back past, present, and future, just like the spirits showed up there. Ooh, very spooky. And so we're going to go back to your past, Nora,

you know, the ghost of Christmas past. Where did your story start thank you so much my story

started in Uganda in a small town called naguru it's one of the biggest slums in a two-roomed

house with my five siblings so we were seven in the house with our mother who was a hairdresser at one of her

friend's salon. But at that time there was civil war. So her job was really not stable because

it also depended on how safe the city was at that time. But I remember we relied so much

on our father who was a soldier and he served in the

Rwandan army. So let me take you back a little bit. My mother... Yeah, please. We need some

education here because not everybody knows this story. And when I say everybody, probably me too.

Okay. So I come from a family where my mother is from Uganda and my father is from Rwanda.

Yes.
