Hi ! Chennai Team
Happy to know that you arrived safely. A special hello to Tom Belton as I have great memories of our first meeting in Tanzania 2006. Enjoy children and continued success. My prayers will be with you all
Thinking of you all and wishing you a terrific trip! A special hello to Kristein and Mary Jo! I look forward to Kristein's beautiful photos and Mary Jo's insightful prose.
Hello to the Chennai Team! Glad to hear that you left snowy Toronto safely. I think you'll all be having 3 shower days, while in torrid Chennai. I wish you all success in the distributions. Smiles and laughs will be your reward from the children. Mary Jo, start the supper tradition from Kolkata! best wishes from Margaret, Kolkata '08
