From Kampala to NC: Single Black Immigrant Man Fosters 47 Children
Peter Mutabazi, a single Black immigrant man, has made his home in North Carolina a sanctuary for children in need. He currently cares for six children, including two foster children and three adopted ones, as part of the 47 he has taken in over the last eight years.
