Nice woman take them in


Mara camp texted me tonight to say four lions are in camp and the crocs have come to lie by the fire. Giraffe walking around in camp two days ago. I threw a christmas party for an orphanage today and a school yesterday. The kids are so quiet and sweet you never hear any complain or cry even when we ran out of juice. They held on to thier new cups and pencils even as they colored so not to loose these little possesions. They are in rags and today the kids were assembled in a shack with a rocky floor it is so touching to hang out with them. 55 of these ones lost their parents to HIV and the place had no food or bathroom. Just some nice woman willing to take them in and give them love. I can't explain the rich spirit in the midst of dire poverty it is truly unbelievable. We gave them each a coloring book page and they carefully colored in so sweetly. There was a run on brown crayons for skin tone. Thier big sweet eyes break your heart. Next three days are at by Grace, I may try and sleep there to get the full experience. The guard is not willing to stay and they are not sure but I am going to try. I gave them $1000 for food so we are buying a goat to butcher and bushells of fruit and veg and other stuff to last through the holidays. I have clothes and presents for all 275 kids so it will be fun handing it out and spending a bit of time with each of them. Send my love on, dont be afraid to skype me if you have a moment. Big kiss, Daisy
