The adventure continues I repeat my congratulations again to you both for all that you are doing together, now and for the future. Keep on having fun. It will be a big celebration all round when you return. Luv Mas.
how could he not pop the question with all this romance around you - ie not sure it would have the same effect on the glenelg jetty or the mt lofty look out. Congratulations you guys, great news, jane and I are very happy for you both. Your travels look amazing, and make the real world back here extra dreary. Stay safe.
|A|AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! OMGoodness!!!
Congratulations to you both!!!!
Molly, did I not have pre-emptive feelings about this??!!!
Sorry to focus on just one thing when you have had just SUCH an amazing time!!! But when, where etc. on the wedding plans!!?
AAAAHHHHH! I love you guys so much!
XXXXXXXXXXx
It was great for us too! But if you are going to look up our blog site to see photos, search 'chasanaski' not 'chasanski'. Hey, how crazy is the tour de france?! 5 out of the top 10 dropping out for drug doping! Crazy. Hard to say if decimating one of the biggest cycling races in the world is worth cleaning up the sport
Wow! What an adventure! You have made such a difference in these peoples lives Celeste, it's incredible! I would love to see some of the short story competitions! Looking forward to seeing you soon in our new apartment!!!
FAREWELL TO NATONDOME VILLAGE YOU HAVE BOTH DONE GREAT THINGS DURING YOUR TIME WITH THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND HAVE PROBABLY FAR EXCEEDED WHAT YOU EXPECTED TO DO INITIALLY. YOU SHOULD BOTH BE PROUD OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND WITH THE SYSTEMS YOU HAVE PUT IN PLACE, I AM SURE THAT THEY WILL SUSTAIN FOR THE MANY YEARS TO COME. WHAT AN IMPACT YOU HAVE MADE ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS ALSO AND THIS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY THE HEARTS YOU HAVE TOUCHED!! WELL DONE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING UP WITH YOU BOTH. ANOTHER MOMENT OF PROUDNESS. LOVE EVY AND CHRIS XXX
The Mzungu Warriors By the time this comment gets approved Tom and I will be in on our way to the Village!!! Have enjoyed every Blog and email with laughter, tears and proudness and just so lucky to have a beautiful daughter and along with her partner Luke has done great work for people that are deserved in everyway. More importantly the sustainment of these processes are going to be so important for the Village. Enjoy the rest of your journey with each other. Tom and I are really looking forward to our experience in the Village and beyond - hope I dont fall down the latrine!!!!Lots of mzungu love, R and T xxxx
I agree! Enjoy your last memories!! Who knows, you may be back some day. I hear you re the not missing sweating all the time, bucket showers and unexpectedly finding bugs. Can't wait to see you! oxox
Go Celeste! Celeste it is so wonderful to read your blogs! You are doing such an amazing job and should be so proud of yourself! Keep up the fantastic work. Sorry to hear you strained your back! I did mine too just the other day!
Village Life Hi
Thanks again for your wonderful letters. They are always interesting and informative, they often make me smile and always fill me with inspiration. What a woman, you have made such a real difference to people's lives. Well done.
Only a few weeks to go now until your parents arrive and then you to will be leaving, I hope this time goes well for you. Love Trish
great journal Hi Celeste, thanks for the latest blog. This experience will never leave your thoughts and also how you have made a difference to the people around you there. Keep up with the good work until you leave and i look forward to hearing about more of your adventures in dubai . Another moment of proudness.
Lots of Love and Smiles

Your travelblogs have been soooooooooo interesting - I can only imagine how difficult life has been for you both at times. The most important news to come out of Adelaide this week is that ------THE CROWS WHOPPED BRISBAND LIONS by 30 odd points. They went in as the absolute underdogs coming off a huge loss to Collingwood the week before. That's our boys!! Alex and I are due to leave for Europe on July 31st so not a lot of time now before we leave - not excited yet but it will start to kick in soon. Hope your remaining 3-4 weeks in Uganda are good ones and we look forward to that African dinner party when you get home. Love Helen and Alex xxxxxxxxx
What's in Italy for you Luke? I lived there for a couple of years, many years ago, and love the place, its people, its beauty, its generosity, and its food. Have fun!
Lovely photos, Molly and Luke. It is obvious your presence there is making a big difference. Your mother, Molly, has told us that she is visiting you soon. I'm sure she will love your new home, and being with you, almost as much as you will love having her with you. If I can send something with her, I will.
You must be feeling incredibaly proud, you have done an excellent job and have made a difference. I know Mum and Tom are really looking forward to their trip.
Hello there! Hey Celeste!
I hope I have done this right and it reaches you! Not very good with this fancy tech/ computer stuff! Sounds like you are making a real impact there, congratulations!! Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to you, I have no computer at home and can only use my work computer sparingly. It has taken me awhile to settle in, but I love being in Kalgoorlie! I play soccer which I am REALLY LOVING :0) I have met some great people and work is really challenging. Have well adn truely seetled into my unit and Molly is doing really well too.
How much longer do you have there? Have you had a chance to do any tourist things? I am sure that you have probably answered some of these questions in your previous bloggs. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Oh, what did you for Easter? Just curious, I know that a lot of the Sudanese people I met were Christian so they celebrated Easter. Just wondered what traditions you have experienced. I cannot wait to travel more!
All the best,
love Joy xx
Fascinating Blogs, Fascinating Work Hey Celeste and Luke
I have just managed to get my e-mail up and running after about a month, so I have spent the last hour reading your blogs. What an amazing experience you guys are having. How wonderful of you both to devote your time and energy to work with people who are in need of medical help, particularly the children. You offer them hope and a chance to live a more fulfilling life. We take so much for granted here, and I guess, find it difficult to recongise what a privledged life we have. I look forward to reading your next blog and wish you both every success and happiness in your life giving work.
Making us Proud Reading your guys blogs reminds us we live the best life anyone could ever live. In this great life we live not too many exciting things are happening around here. We don't want to write to much, we know you would have a whole lot more to read from others. Keep up the EXCELLENT work guys, you deserve all the good karma you can get and a lot more! miss you's heaps, stay safe, and can't wait to see your guys faces.
Love lots Vin and Laize ox
