Glad to be writing this post. We landed as planned this morning at 8:45 am; wished through immigration and got all our bags. Our friends with cars were all there to pick us up and now all of us are in self-isolation. Now we get to experience what you have all been living with sinceContinue reading “They’re Baaaack!

She’s asking that we find a child for them to sponsor. It is not an easy thing to do – select a child out of 116Continue reading “First Child Sponsored”
