Well, since we are here for a long while, we have set up a small apartment bought bread and water and have moved into the culture!!
Yesterday was a great day. We managed to have a small safari with a personal guide and visited an orphanage. The children saw us coming and began to run like crazy to us. They grab your hands and love and hug you. These orphans are without parents OR have parents who could not afford to care for them. They don't experience the "human love" or contact that most of us receive on a daily basis. Just to look into their eyes and hold there hand, pick them up, dance with them, laugh with them, is like giving them all the money in the world. As they say, Love does make the world go round...and I believe I made their world turn just a bit brighter, by sharing time with them!!
Going to visit other orphanages this week...will make my way to a disabled children's school and also make some "home visits" with my friend Pastor Anna!!
My work is not done, it has only begun.
Until next time~
Cheers!
