The Count Down is On!!


Once again, I will be returning to Africa, to do what I LOVE to do most~put smiles on the beautiful faces of the children and women of Karim Orphanage and their community! In just 14 more sleeps, I will be on a plane for the 4th time, bound for Arusha, Tanzania, Africa!! My friend Jody and 2 other young girls from Lethbridge will be travelling with me this time. This is the first trip to Africa for these 3, so I am extremely excited for them.
Oprah definetly has the golden touch! Since being featured on the Season Premiere of Oprah, I have had almost $10,000.00 in donations come in for the Orphanage!! And of these donations was $1500.00 from some of the 300 Ultimate Fans I had the pleasure of travelling to Australia with. Once, complete strangers~now, my new friends that I have inspired to help.
With these donations we will paint the 'grafitti wall'; build a playground; do some landscaping~trees, flowers, & grass; buy Rehema a washing machine; buy new school uniforms; and finish up a few odds & ends around the house!!!
Next, we need to raise money for a new school van! The one we have now is very old and NOT reliable~breaks down all the time, flat tires, so the children have to walk miles to school. So, your $25, to buy a brick on the wall, goes a LONG LONG way to help these children. You still have 2 weeks to send your $25 and we will have your name, city, state, province, country put on the 'grafitti wall' of Karim Orphanage.
