'Mother n Daughter' Visitors

Lisa and I, at Karim, in September 2008
I first travelled to Tanzania, Africa, with my daughter, Lisa, in September 2008. I can not believe it is coming on 5 years now. Wow, time flies! Since, my first visit, there has been numerous visitors. People have travelled from all over the world just to visit this 'Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow', called Karim Orphanage! And I must say, most of these visitors have returned a second time..... and even a third time! Me? Well, it would be 10 times for me now! Only once, out of the 10 trips to Tanzania, did I travel alone. The other times, I went with friends, family, students and even strangers! Including myself, there has been 6 mother/daughter visitor's to Karim Orphanage. How cool is that? 
First visit, was myself with my daughter, Lisa, in 2008. Second, Mama Lynne Luehrs and her daughter, Jacqueline, in 2010. Third, Mama Jody Johnson and her daughter Danielle, in 2011. Fourth, a three generation team went ~ Grandma Jean, Mama Marilyn and daughter Cianna in 2012. And last year in 2013 was Mama Lori and her daughter Taylor and then myself again, with my new daughter-in-law, Jenn, who was there on her honeymoon! There seems to be a trend here!! LOVE it! What a way to experience a journey of a lifetime and be able to share it with your daughter! I know I will cherish my trip with my daughter Lisa, in 2008, for a lifetime!
Over the next few post's, I will be featuring all of these Mother/daughter visitor's. So, please, come back to hear about their experience's, what they have to say and see what amazing things they did to help change lives!
