Well done, keep up the good work, use your energies wisely, and most of all, I send you lots of good vibes, energies, and lovexxxxx

Wow
What an experience once again!! I think you have found your niche with those children. Aren't they wonderful. Put a the majority over here to shame!! If I had been a lot younger, I think I would have loved to have been with you on this trip of yours. I still think you would make a super "author" so when you eventually come back "home" I think you should consider it. Carry on taking care of yourself (and others) Lovely to hear from you. Luv Sheila xxx

I am so impressed when I read of young women giving of them selfs is such a wonderful way. All your pictures were thoughtful. I have a need. My church is doing a Alternative Gift Fair. I need a few pictures of street children. These gifts bought will go to Melel Xojobal, Chiapas, Mexico. I have not been able to acquire any pictures to promoto this project. I would love to have the one of the girl in the red dress and the one of the three old. What would you charge me.
