Well, I am sure you have all watched the Season Premiere of Oprah! I have, only 8 times, now! That was so hard to keep that BIG secret for 5 days! Can you believe that 'Karim Orphanage' actually kicked off Oprah's last season? What you didn't see is that my story actually made Oprah and John cry! I am beyond excited that the 'world' has now seen Karim Orphanage and of course just a little excited about the fact that I am going on a vacation with Oprah AND John Travolta!
So, I am honored to have been an INSPIRATION to you all! You all know now, and I am living proof, that doing one small kind thing does come back ten times fold!

Mama, Linda
Linda, you're a perfect example of how this show has inspired "ordinary" people to do extraordinary things that do make a big difference in the world. You are a hero!!!! As a mother of 2 adopted children and an educator with 35 years experience, I know how life-changing your work is and will be in the future. I'd love to contribute in some way...definately a brick. But maybe I could do more if we could inspire even just one school to learn about Tanzania and have a "funraiser" to contribute to your home.With admiration... Marge
ReplyDeleteYou and Greg looked like you were having a blast at the show! What great exposure for the orphanage. And to go on an Australian vacation with Oprah (and John Travolta as a pilot) would be a dream come true. Good things happen to good people...you deserve it. I read the article in today's paper about you heading a group to Karim in February. Where can we get more info about that?
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteI heard about you and your work in Tanzania on the news regarding the Oprah show. I work in Rwanda and am interested in discussing with you how to start work on an orphanage there. Would you please email me at dgleeson@golden.net? Thank you so much for the work you do in Tanzania!
