We miss you Wonderful to hear your news and see that you are surrounded by kids (of the animal and human variety) who will benefit from your generous spirit. We miss you, and none more than your boyfriend Harrison, who eagerly awaits your return. Love R, J and H
Great pics! The farm looks absolutely gorgeous. Just what you need, a "tranquil oasis" before you arrive in bustling Vietnam. Can't wait to see you on the 20th of March. Love from Karen.
He's Great!!! Hey Squirrelita!
he's perfect. and yes, great words from Silvana Quattrocchi Montanaro. i experienced that being an almost step dad for 2 years. the world became larger, more joyful and the meaning of life became infinitely larger.
Hope you are well!

Not what I saw Your description of your experience in Danang Hospital is an eye-opener. But it is not the same experience I had. My family spent June 2007 living with a family on Tran Cao Van Street in Danang and my father in law spent 3 days in the hospital after cracking his head open after a fall. Maybe we were just there at the right time, because I was impressed by the hospital staff, treatment and everything else. He did not have surgery though, so maybe that is where the difference is, I do not know. When we were there, he had his own room(spotless with a bathroom), they did all the tests that I would have expected from a doctor in California (all three doctors that treated him spoke fluent English). The cost per day for the stay was what meal would have cost in the cafeteria at UCLA Med Center. Those conditions in your pictures look awful, and maybe other parts of the hospital were bad, but I did not see them and I woud not hesitate to seek medical attention there if I needed it, based on how I saw my father in law treated. Regarding the sketches, those are awsome.
God bless you Sherry I enjoyed reading your experience of your visit to CYORF, It sounds like something I would like to do very much. I believe almost all Americans "myself included" take our way of life for granted.
Wonderful! I am so glad to be involved in this project! They are ALL beautiful children. Thank you Sherry, Stephen, and those who work alongside you, for making an extraordinary difference in this world!
Hi from Karen in Oz . The photo's are great although the Lion does look more "cute " than intimidating..........guess it's one of those " you have to be there photo's"
Africa Hi, It was fun to read what you wrote. I have met Pastor Edwards through the internet. I know someone that lives about 50miles from CYORF. Pastor went to visit them. I am trying to donate to help them, but haven't been able to yet. I am a single parent here in the US. I wanted to know how much you had to pay to get to Africa? I can't even mail a box there it cost so much! I want to help, but cannot as of yet. That is so cool that you got to go there! You can write me at (ronnabullard@yahoo.com) if you like. Thanks >
Thanks I forgot what it was like to travel and now I remember. I forgot about the emotions and how as beautiful a place may look in a picture what really matters is what you are feeling that makes a place, thanks. Take care.
Love and miss you! Hi Squirrely Girly,
We know that you are special and we love you anyway...jk. I'm sure that this has been another adventure that has left a major impact on you. I am ready to hear about it when you are ready. In the meantime remember that you did what you went to do. And even though time quickly went by it will leave a mark for a lifetime. Enjoy your last days and have safe travels back to Philly.
<3, ~L xoxo
Enjoying your story Hi Sherry: I am an old friend of Margie Berger and sing in St. George Choir. I am reallly enjoying your tales and wish I had more time to read them. Now that I found them I will. I sent the clothes from K-Mart. I am sure they were appreciated. I travel to Turkey every summer (my husband if from there) and they love all the clothes that I bring. Take care of yourself and be safe. Love, Lynne
I began traveling in my early twenties and found that the experience offered a mind opening perspective of life in relation to the lives of others around the world. Since then, I've explored over 40 different countries, immersed in their cultures and customs, many of which lack the freedom of artistic creation and expression. Recognizing the many opportunities she was afforded in life, like an art education, would become the driving force behind my motivation...... full info
