My Cutie

So, I had several people ask me if I would be bringing children home with me. I wanted to pack this girl in my suitcase. She was soooo dang cute and loving. The first time she saw me, she came up and grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. She loved being picked up and given attention. Although there are several kids I still want to help, I can not stop thinking about this little one.

P7 Class

These are the girls of the P7 class. They just finished their final examinations, so they are ready to move on to secondary school. Secondary school is very expensive, so many of them rely on sponsors to support them through school. If anyone is interested in donating, many of these kids could use sponsorship. Without the money to pay for school, they will most-likely stay at home, get married, and start having children.

Robina

This girl is one of my favorites. Her name is Robina, she's 14 and an orphan. She helps out a ton around the school. She works very hard, is very bright, capable, and well-grounded. She wants to be a pilot. She has everything it takes to be successful (oh, except the money to go on to school, or connections to get a job in the field). Robina is lucky enough to have sponsorship (for now) from a previous volunteer, but there are several others that could use help.

Old Friends

I love this picture. The lady on the left is Liz's mom--she's a really great lady. Who, although I can't communicate directly with her, is quite funny! She's always making people laugh. Here she is visiting a long-time friend. They are sitting on the ground outside her friend's mud hut.

Friends

Here is a picture of 2 friends. The boys on the left is named Joel and he's an orphan at Grace Orphange. He is one of my favorites--he works very hard and is always smiling.

Safari-Elephants

On our safari trip, I (small world) met up with a friend of a friend I work with. He had a private vehicle rented, so I tagged along with him for the safari excursion. We sat on the top of his range rover and had such a great view. Check out how close we got to these elephants (the safari vans with the guide didn't see elephants at all, so I really lucked out on this). We did a little off-road driving to find them, but it was well worth it.

Safari-Giraffe

The giraffe were my favorite on the safari--so beautiful and so graceful. And we saw many of them.
