from celia

hey, hey, hey!
as you know i'm in africa. today we went to two schools - shule! and two homes. as the other kids said, we met a young massai man named johannes. he cooks for his family and goes to school. and when he grows up he wants to be a chef. in the second home, we visited a woman who had fallen off a garden hill and hurt her back so she cannot use her legs. she had a son by the name yosef who also goes to the orphanage and is 15 yrs old. his story moved us as we sang for his bedridden mother. we left her a malaika angel from our toy bag. the schools we went to were crowded with children. i wish we could find ways to make a change for them. love, celia

    Hey Celia - Thanks so much for your post. I love how each of you remember something different. Obviously, all of you are being touched...in various ways...and by each of you posting we are able to put the whole day together. One person doesn't have to remember everything...the sum is worth more than the individual parts. :) Take care.
