from the First Time We Met...



It's really hard to believe that it's going to be 5 years since I first met these children, at Karim Orphanage. Who would of thought, that I would still be returning to visit them, five years later? Certainly not me! I just returned home from my 10th trip to Tanzania and each time I visit, they grow up just a little bit more! It's funny, how they keep that same cute smile, that same twinkle in their eye, that same attitude...but they grow up, just a little bit each time!

  I'd have a never ending Love, for you!
