| 29th July 2007 Alex | Salut les chéris - From: Quel plaisir de vous lire ! Merci de nous donner des nouvelles avec autant de régularité et d'application. Par contre je suis déçu de ne pas avoir vu de photo de votre moto de location, je me console avec le scooter (:-])= J'aurais donné cher pour vous voir au garde à vous dans le ciné devant l'image du roi (mmmppfffff). En tout cas, ravi de voir que vous vous éclatez bien. Pour moi, vacances dans une semaine et il fait toujours aussi moche (si je tennais le con qui a sugéré d'aller en Bretagne ... oups, c'est vrai c'est ... espérons que ça s'arrange) Amusez-vous bien et à bientôt ... |
| 29th July 2007 Lio & @udrey | Coucou vous! - From: Salut tous les 2!!! Sommes heureux de partager à distance vos émotions dans ce voyage au long cours... et souhaitions vous le faire savoir!!!

| 26th July 2007 Mindy | Moses' Armband - From: Pictures of Africa Wearing Moses' armband, eh? Doesn't that mean you're now married to each other??? ;o) |
| 26th July 2007 Hazel | - From: Kids kids kids They all long adorable I hope you're not becoming too attached! |
| 25th July 2007 Denise | Parcel - From: Pictures of Africa Hey MoJo, just to let you know I posted a parcel today with a few goodies for the kids. It will probably take 15 days to get to you sent it by snail mail as it was quite heavy. You doing a fab job babe. hugs dee |
| 24th July 2007 cindy | question + love the pics! - From: Pictures of Africa Hi Joanna, It's cindy collins from your previous place of employment (must seem a world away, now!)... I just wanted to say I love reading your blog, thank you for posting all these interesting stories. You rock!!! Also, I wanted to send something for the kids, but then I thought it might be easier to contribute money toward your charity funds, that way you can buy whatever they need most (or heavy things like paper, that are hard to ship) - is there someone I could send a check to, that could deposit it into your account? (My e-mail is cynthiac@(work)). You go, girl!!! :o) cindy (btw let us know if you want us to send you some mosquito repellant...) |
| 17th July 2007 Denise | Parcel - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Hey Jo. Planning to send a parcel of stuff for the school. Has anyone from the UK sent anything? If so by what means, general post, courier etc. Hugs dee x |
| 16th July 2007 Shawn Conrad | Hello From San Diego - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Just so you remember me I will say "How are youuuuuuuu?" in my best scottish accent. John Davies showed me your blog and I will watch your progress closely. I think this is a really great thing you are doing. I hope to muster the courage to do something similar in my lifetime. |
| 14th July 2007 Colette McGinty | Hey!! - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Hi Joanna - here's me thinking my Trans Siberian trip was pretty out there! Reading your blog helps me keep all the day to day crap in perspective - keep it comin! xx |
| 13th July 2007 Helen | OMG - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Yum yum - I am really hungering after Ugali. Must remember to make some for the family - maybe after the graduation next week. I am cooking fish, chips and veggies just now - which would I like - Hmmm? Think about it. As for frogs in the socks - that beats lizards on the arm I reckon. I bet there was much shreiking and mayhem at that one. You sound like you are really working very hard - I hope you are taking care of yourself as well. Have a great time at the lodge - I am so envious. I keep looking art flights tpo see if I can get out again before you leave but they are so expensive it s not going to happen. Mike back now so will go and eat the DINNER. Love to all H |
| 12th July 2007 Gina | donations - From: Donations Joanna~ Have you received any packages yet using the address you provided? What are the sizes of the kids...do you have any idea? They look really young...are they all around a small/medium size for kids? I loved the story about the puzzle box! |
| 10th July 2007 Anne McGinty | Yo Jo - From: Out of Scotland Hey Jo, Nice to see your bloggy thing. Quite surprised I managed it actually. Me being the technophobe that I am. Just came back from Arran yesterday actually. Hadn't bee there since that ever so drunken time on that New Year. It really is lovely. Looking forward to hearing more about your exploits in Africa. Well Done, you!! Anne x:-) |
| 9th July 2007 Gina | stuff to send - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Hey Joanna~ What sort of candy do you think will last for the shipment out to Africa? Gum? Hard candy only? Any specific requests? Also, how many kids are there again? I wouldn't want to leave anyone out... Thanks for the updates!! Gina :) |
| 6th July 2007 Mindy | - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Wow... sounds like very rewarding work. Well done, Jo. And, my... you've got quite a base tan going. Just a few more shades and you'll blend right in! Thanks for the address. |
| 6th July 2007 Helen Ross | An Acknowledgement - From: "I had a farm in Africa" I just want to say that I would like to acknowledge the generosity of all our friends and colleagues who donated money and items towards supporting this project as well as others. I think that it is important that people not directly connected with what is happening in Tanzania feel that their part, however small, is recognised and valued. So thanks everyone and I look forward to hearing about the grand opening |
| 6th July 2007 Julie Richardson | Address - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Joanna - I love reading about your work - keep it coming. Is the address above really where we can send packages - as then I would feel like I am a part of your work there. Thanks for taking on the world and your great stories. Julie Richardson (Gen-Probe) |
| 6th July 2007 Helen and Mike | How's the mad house? - From: Take the vegetarian to the moon How are things in the place of the sheep and the bulls that fight. We are really missing all the BB action - it seems very quiet back here in wet UK. Trying to sort out pix at the moment. Have been in touch with Mariah about all the happenings and weird outs in the house. How is the health of everyone???????? Is Lisa still spotty? Can't shift the rotton cold I came home with - which snotty individual passed it to me I wonder? Plenty to choose from I reckon. How are the new volunteers getting on at Faraja. Do tell them to contact us if they need any help or suggestions. Would love to hear how things are, especially with Luta. Still looking into how best to sponsor him safely - that the money goes to him and not into someone else's pocket. Problem to be sorted. Write soon. Take care. Love to al. Helen |
