the trip, your gifts, happy children…
So my sister is safely back home in Ohio, Lulu was happily reunited, my parents are home too and all of your gifts are happily with a child. Can you believe it? Thanks again friends for your time and talent. All of these children are so precious.
It was very overwhelming to look through her photos and see all the children’s faces-the reality of it all really hit me. As we went through the photographs, Susan told me of some of the immediate needs of a few kids. Simple medical procedures that are not terribly costly for many “Westerners” and then, of course situations that ARE serious. On a personal note, my family has decided to give up a Christmas exchange and will be sending our money to some of the kids in need. I am really thrilled about this…
I have added a “Page” to my sidebar. Please feel free to browse the photos- a few are a bit more heart wrenching, but I wanted to show all of you how your kindness has touched a child. Also, this is just a sampling of the many photographs that were shot over her trip. Some orphanages would not allow photographs at all- so unfortunately we can’t see them, but you can be sure that they were happily received.
Both Susan and I will be writing each of you personally within the next month. A more detailed account of her trip will be included. Again- thank you.
