Thank You and Pictures

---

Our final update:

We are now back to the States (after some very tiring travel!). Thank you again to everyone who helped support us; it was an amazing experience! Thank you also to those who have suggested medical possibilities in Arusha to help out the child we mentioned previously; we are following up on your suggestions. We are also sending out a few more emails following up on trying to secure additional food donations for the children.

It was a wonderful experience--we will definitely volunteer again in the future. We wanted you to know, however, that we could not have done it without your support. We are reminded of a quote from Mother Theresa hanging in the office at LOHADA: "What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." Thank you for being drops in the ocean!

Now that we have faster (and free) internet, we wanted to post more pictures for you all to see. Thank you again and enjoy the pictures!

Asante Sana!
Joe and Paola

Once Paola taught them to blow on their nails, they took it seriously!

Swinging Away
They took swinging to new heights by crouching on the seat and getting above the crossbar!

Balloons
Hurry up, they all want more balloons to play with!

Joseph
Here is the lovely boy we are trying to get some medical attention for.

He is a super bright ten-year old--we may try to sponsor him.

Stay over Here!
Every time Paola wanted to do an art activity, I had to play (some extremely challenging) daycare with the little ones.

Heading to Camp Joshua
The kids were so excited the day we helped them move from Camp Moses to Camp Joshua (in order to start school after the holiday break).

Additional LOHADA Assets
It was explained to us that part of the organization's assets were two goats and three cows.
