Hi gang...just getting to town to get on the internet. I have to say it's nice to have my own car...so far so good driving on the wrong side of the road...thanks to Brian for the use of his GPS system...I've only gotten lost once!
It's weird to be back at the orphanage, a lot has changed in two years. Kids are bigger, different management and caretakers, but some things are still the same. Kids falling asleep on my lap, playing games in my room, singing and dancing under the stars at night, fellowship with great friends, and walking to school and seeing hundreds of kids on the road. I don't realize how much I miss Africa until I'm here. Also here is the annoying bird that wakes me each morning...the same awful bird that I dealt with in Tanzania....I know I'm in Africa when I hear it's song!
The kids are doing great. Kwanele is the one sleeping in the picture...he is doing okay, but not well. He is being treated for respiratory problems and his breathing is very rough, he gets tired easily, and doesn't have much to say except, "I love you, Aunt Dianne." I love him. He was just 2 years old when I was here last and he hasn't grown all that much.
Here are some pics of my "peeps" and I hope you can tell how happy we all are to be together again!
Will write more later. Lots of love, Di
