My journey continued on Wednesday with a day spent with the orphan girl I have been fortunate to know and sponsor for several years.  She is now 13 and will complete primary school this year.  She lives with an uncle and her mother and siblings died of aids.  She came to Ngateu and joined us in activities there and traveled with us as we visited Tamiha, an orphans project that finds foster homes for children found on the street and gives them shelter, nutritious food, education and love.  At the conclusion of the day I asked her what she had learned.  She replied, "to help people".  To hear this from a child who we would think needs the most help brought tears to my eyes.  We have returned from safari and you will hear lots about that as others blog.  Earla

"To Help People"!! What a great statement? and when it comes of a 13 year old... and who needs the most help herself is very reinforcing. You seem to have inspired this girl, Earla. There is a lot that we can learn from both you and this girl. God bless you both.
