Hi Team - Another opportunity to make memories for yourselves and the children who receive a bedkit.
Take lots of photos so that we can enjoy the experiences with you vicariously.

Cheers, Sally Jo

This is so wonderful to hear! Big hugs for everyone there, especially Mama Wandoa. I was on this trip in 2005, it changed my life! Steered me onto a new, wonderful path... which recently lead to the birth of an organisation called "Rhythm of Change" in South Africa!!

Many Blessings,

Shelly Burton (Murray's step-granddaughter)

Evi said...

Hi Cathy & Team,
Whoooh, it's great to see all the pics & comments but it must be something else to actually be there & see all the volunteers & children qnd their smiling faces. It takes a whole community to make all this work - I can see that. You are very special people & are making such a big difference to all of these families. It really makes me appreciate what I have & maybe I'll remember to not sweat the small stuff. Sorry to get so philosophical but I congratulate you on your commitment & wish you well on this journey. Take good care!
Hugs...

Love the stories Team Tanzania! it is wonderful to know that SCAW is so active in Africa supporting children, so many of them who did not previously know there were people who cared about them and their futures.
